• U.S. airstrikes in Somalia’s Golis Mountains under Trump’s leadership eliminated key ISIS leaders, marking a turning point in counterterrorism efforts.
  • The operation targeted ISIS strongholds, reducing their resources and influence, with Somali officials praising U.S. support in the fight against terrorism.
  • Despite ongoing threats, intensified efforts by Somali forces and U.S. airstrikes aim to dismantle ISIS’s remaining presence in the region.

The United States, under the decisive leadership of former President Donald Trump, conducted precision airstrikes in Somalia’s Golis Mountains, eliminating key ISIS leaders and crippling the terrorist group’s operations. Somali and U.S. officials confirmed the strikes, which experts say mark a critical turning point in the fight against terrorism in the region.

Key Figures Neutralized in ISIS Stronghold

Recent airstrikes targeted ISIS bases in northern Somalia’s Cal Miskaad Mountains within the Golis range. According to Puntland’s regional government, this operation neutralized high-ranking ISIS members, bolstering anti-terror efforts in the area. The strikes align with the Puntland Security Forces’ ongoing campaign against ISIS, which began in December.

Trump took to the Truth Social platform, stating, “Our military destroyed the caves they live in and killed many terrorists without harming civilians.” A swipe at his successor, President Joe Biden, Trump added, “This ISIS attack planner was targeted for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn’t act. I did.”

Strategic Impact on Somalia

While ISIS remains smaller in size compared to al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab, its activities have increased, raising global concerns. Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud expressed gratitude, emphasizing the importance of U.S. support in counterterrorism. “Your bold leadership in counterterrorism efforts is highly valued,” Mohamud said.

ISIS primarily operates in isolated northern areas but has also attempted to establish control in coastal regions through extortion, illicit taxation, and smuggling. Despite pressure from Somali forces, U.S. airstrikes, and rival groups like al-Shabab, ISIS continues to recruit and spread propaganda.

The Numbers and the Next Phase

Experts estimate that ISIS has a few hundred fighters scattered across the Cal Miskaad Mountains. However, with intensified U.S. involvement, the group’s resources and influence are expected to decline. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the strikes “further degrade ISIS’s ability to plot and conduct terrorist attacks threatening U.S. citizens and our allies.”
