Abu Ibrahim al-Tunisi, the Tunisian so-called jihadist, was reportedly a leading member of JabhatFateh al-Sham, formerly the al-Nusra Front.
US-led forces have targeted the splinter group’s leadership in Syria in the past as well. In early January, the coalition succeeded in eliminating Abu Omar al-Turkistani, a military commander, and Abu Ali al-Tunisi, a security official.
