US Army Eliminates Senior ISIS Leader in Syria
\n———————————-
\nThe United States military announced on Friday that it conducted a raid in Aleppo province, northern Syria, resulting in the death of a senior Islamic State (ISIS) leader and two of his sons, Rudaw reported.<\/p>\n
The operation took place in the town of al-Bab. According to a statement from the US Central Command (CENTCOM), the targeted ISIS leader, Dhiya\u2019 Zawba Muslih al-Hardani, along with his two sons affiliated with ISIS, were killed during the raid.<\/p>\n
General Michael “Erik” Kurilla emphasized the US commitment to pursuing ISIS militants relentlessly, stating, \u201cISIS terrorists are not safe anywhere \u2014 whether where they sleep, operate, or hide.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since its defeat in 2019, ISIS has been attempting to rebuild its strength, especially following the overthrow of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad\u2019s regime on December 8 by a coalition of opposition groups led by the now-disbanded Hay\u2019at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).<\/p>\n
Kurdish authorities in northeast Syria (Rojava), who helped defeat ISIS with support from the US-led coalition, have repeatedly warned of ISIS\u2019s resurging threat. In mid-January, Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) commander Mazloum Abdi stressed the importance of intensifying efforts against ISIS to prevent its resurgence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
