A US-led coalition operation in the town of Atmeh, northern Idlib, Syria, resulted in the death of a senior ISIS operative, Iraqi authorities confirmed Wednesday. The raid targeted Salah Nouman, an Iraqi national and key ISIS leader responsible for coordinating cells in Syria.

According to security sources, the operation was based on intelligence provided by Iraq’s Counter-Terrorism Service. Coalition forces carried out an air assault on the residence where Nouman was hiding with his family. When he attempted to flee to the backyard, he was shot and killed on the spot. No coalition personnel were injured during the raid.

Forensic teams secured the house, confiscated electronic devices, and later transported Nouman’s body to Bab al-Hawa Hospital. The operation also resulted in the detention of several individuals believed to be associated with Nouman. Officials emphasized that the mission was carefully executed with minimal disruption to the surrounding area.
