The capture of the ISIS official comes the day after U.S. forces killed another top official.
The United States military announced Saturday that it conducted a helicopter raid in eastern Syria that yielded the capture of a top ISIS official.
In a press release, CENTCOM announced that U.S. Central Command forces worked with the Syrian military to conduct a helicopter raid, leading to the capture of an ISIS official identified as Batar.
The press release says Batar was “involved in planning attacks on SDF-guarded detention centers and manufacturing improvised explosive devices.”
