CAIRO - U.S. Central Command said on Wednesday its forces assisted and enabled more than 22 operations against the Islamic State in Syria in which five members of the group were killed and 19 captured.
Syria recently signed a political cooperation declaration with the Global Coalition to Defeat Islamic State and has been carrying out nationwide pre-emptive operations against the group.
The operations took place from October 1 to November 6, CENTCOM said.
