….Recovers Video Linking ISWAP To Palestinian, Moroccan
Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have neutralised an Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP, cameraman and recovered video materials indicating the presence of three foreign facilitators in Borno State.
The recovered materials point to a Palestinian Arab identified as a trainer and a Moroccan Arab serving as a medical doctor for the terrorist group.
The Acting Military Information Officer, Joint Task Force North East, Operation Hadin Kai, Capt. Muhammed Goni, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
According to him, the operational success was recorded on Saturday following a failed infiltration attempt by ISWAP terrorists into Cross Kauwa, Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State.
The statement read, “Troops of 19 Brigade, Sector 3, Joint Task Force North East, Operation HADIN KAI, OPHK, have decisively foiled an attempted infiltration by ISWAP terrorists into Cross Kauwa, Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State, inflicting heavy casualties on the attackers and forcing them to retreat in disarray.”
“The successful defence of the location further demonstrates the vigilance, combat readiness and operational effectiveness of troops who continue to deny terrorist elements freedom of action across the North East Theatre,” it added.
Goni said the failed attack occurred at about 10:20 p.m. on July 11, 2026, when the terrorists attempted to exploit the cover of darkness to breach the troops’ position and loot cholera medical supplies.
