In mid-June 2024, a major operation shared between law enforcement and judicial authorities across Europe and in the United States led to the take-down of numerous servers used for terrorist communication and propaganda as well as to the arrests of nine persons. The websites and communication channels - such as radio stations, a news agency, and social media - supported multiple media outlets linked to the Islamic State (IS). They were available in at least 30 languages and had a global reach.

Europol’s European Counter Terrorism Centre supported the operation with its range of services and expertise and organised several operational meetings. Eurojust organised a dedicated coordination meeting and assisted with the execution of EIOs and MLA requests.

The joint action is the latest in a series of joint efforts, dating back to the year 2016, which aim to disrupt the online activities of the so-called Islamic State.
