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, including a Palestinian Arab identified as a trainer and a Moroccan Arab serving as a medical doctor for the terrorist group in Borno State.
The operational success was recorded on Saturday following a failed infiltration attempt by ISWAP terrorists into Cross Kauwa, Kukawa LGA.
Troops repelled the attack, inflicting heavy casualties. Recovered footage revealed the operation was coordinated by four senior ISWAP commanders alongside the foreign facilitators—Abu Ishaq (Palestinian trainer), Abu Thaiba (Moroccan doctor), and another unidentified Arab operative.
Two soldiers sustained injuries but are in stable condition. The attempted looting of cholera medical supplies confirmed intelligence reports of an outbreak within terrorist enclaves.
Key Points:
A Palestinian and a Moroccan were identified among ISWAP’s foreign facilitators, confirming external support
The presence of a foreign doctor suggests ISWAP is operating with specialist expertise from abroad
The recovery of video footage provides valuable intelligence on terrorist operations and leadership
The attempted looting of cholera medical supplies indicates a health crisis within terrorist enclaves
The operation dealt a significant blow to ISWAP’s propaganda capabilities and operational network
Operation HADIN KAI remains committed to sustaining offensive operations and dismantling terrorist networks. The presence of foreign facilitators confirms ISWAP continues to benefit from transnational terrorist linkages.
