Hegseth highlighted the success of these efforts, noting that recent joint operations between U.S. and Nigerian forces in the Lake Chad Basin have significantly impacted terrorist leadership and personnel. Key developments include:

• Eliminating Fighters: The operations have reportedly resulted in the deaths of “hundreds” of ISIS members responsible for attacks on Christian communities and threats against the U.S. homeland.
