A video allegedly showing scenes from last week's U.S.-led raid near Hawija, an area in the northern Kirkuk province, was released by the Kurdistan Regional Government.

CNN reports a U.S. military official has confirmed the source and the authenticity of the footage.

The video shows mostly Kurdish soldiers leading men, who are presumably hostages, through dark rooms as gun shots resonate around them. The men appear to be barefoot, and most of them are wearing robes.

Though throughout most of the video Arabic -- and possibly Kurdish -- is being spoken, an American soldier can be heard right before the recording ends. 

The images reveal moments from a mission in northern Iraq last Thursday in which Kurdish forces and U.S. Special Forces worked together to free approximately 70 hostages from an ISIS prison. As previously reported, Kurdish officials announced that the raid involved American helicopters, and airstrikes, which blocked off the roads leading to the compound.

The frenetic video was shot with a helmet camera worn by one of the Kurdish soldiers.

According to officials, a U.S. Special Forces commander on the ground made the decision to engage ISIS fighters during the overnight mission.

The attack resulted in the death of one U.S. soldier. Master Sgt. Joshua L. Wheeler was shot inside the compound. After being seriously injured, the soldier was flown to Irbil, where he died. Four Kurdish troops were also wounded during the assault. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter spoke of the slain soldier on Friday.

“Obviously, we’re very saddened that he lost his life,” Carter said during a press briefing at the Pentagon. “I’m immensely proud of this young man.” 

Master Sgt. Wheeler is the first American soldier to die since the war wound down in Iraq in 2011. He is also the first combat casualty of Operation Inherent Resolve, the campaign against ISIS.

U.S. officials said that the decision to attack the ISIS prison was made swiftly, as information suggested that time was running out for the hostages.

"We knew the hostages would soon be murdered," said Col. Steve Warren, the spokesman for the U.S. military operation against ISIS. "We knew this because we saw freshly dug graves."
