Afghanistan night raids
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Afghanistan night raids were a military tactic employed by the United States and Afghan special forces during the War in Afghanistan that lasted from 2001 to 2021.[1][2] The coalition forces in Afghanistan maintain the Joint Prioritized Effects List (JPEL) of targets their special forces try to capture or kill.[2] Using night vision equipment, US and Afghan special forces would raid the suspected households of targets on the Joint Prioritized Effects List.[2] The operations were controversial, due to issues like civilian casualties.
