U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a Nov. 12 statement that the capabilities of the ISIS terrorist group in Syria have been further diminished over the past month after local operations took down 24 members.

CENTCOM said that the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS “advised, assisted, and enabled” more than 22 operations from Oct. 1 to Nov. 6, in which the coalition and its Syrian partners targeted ISIS cells in Syria, killing five members and capturing another 19.
