US moving up to 7,000 IS detainees from Syria to Iraq: US military

The United States launched an operation on Wednesday that could ultimately transfer up to 7,000 Islamic State group detainees from Syria to neighboring Iraq, the U.S. military said.

The aim of the operation -- which began with the movement of 150 of the jihadist group's fighters -- is to "help ensure the terrorists remain in secure detention facilities," U.S. Central Command said in a post on X.
