Operation Hadin Kai troops turned back a brazen pre-dawn terror thrust from Mandara Mountains into Bitta at 12:30 a.m. Thursday, using cutting-edge surveillance to lure infiltrators into ambush range—then blasting them with tactical fire that neutralized several, including a high-value commander and his propaganda cameraman, in a devastating blow to ISWAP networks.
