#BREAKING: #USArmy Special Forces (from Delta Force) carried-out an anti-terrorist operation at #Jarabulus near #Aleppo in Northern #Syria. The operation involved two MH-47Gs (this video) & four MH-60Ms of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. Video is for 15 mins ago👇

#BREAKING: This video is for almost an hour ago shows two of the four MH-60M Black Hawk helicopters carrying a team of #USArmy Delta Force to Jarabulus near #Aleppo. They attacked a group of #Turkey backed terrorists. One of the helicopters is damaged but was evacuated.

It is reported that the Delta Force team onboard some of these helicopters attacked where it was near position of #Turkey backed Faylaq al-Shām terrorists near Jarabulus. The target most probably was a high ranking #ISIL/#Daesh leader. (possibly protected by #Turkey)

As far as I remember, the 160th SOAR of #USArmy has not been operating its MH-6M Little Birds in #Iraq & #Syria since 2019-2020 however tonight I heard their noise in the videos that I received. I believe these are unmanned MQ-6 attack drones not MH-6Ms (this image).

#BREAKING: The operation of #USArmy Delta Force near Jarabulus in #Syria was successful. They captured a high ranking #ISIL/#Daesh commander named "Mustafa" just a few hundreds of meters from Turkish border!

Here is the official statement of the CJTF-OIR:
