US-led strike targets top al-Qaida leader in Syria

The U.S.-led coalition carried out a drone strike towards a senior al-Qaida terrorist chief, in response to a press release made by the U.S. army on Wednesday.

The strike was the most recent of a collection of comparable assaults over the previous years which have killed senior members of the Daesh terrorist group or al-Qaida.

The U.S. Central Command mentioned that shortly earlier than midday, U.S. forces performed “a unilateral strike” in northwestern Syria, concentrating on a senior al-Qaida chief. It added that extra data can be supplied “as operational particulars grow to be obtainable.”

U.S. Army Gen. Erik Kurilla, the highest U.S. commander for the Middle East mentioned the strike on Wednesday “reaffirms CENTCOM’s steadfast commitment to the region and the enduring defeat” of Daesh and al-Qaida.

Most of these focused over the previous years had been members of Horas al-Din, which is Arabic for “Guardians of Religion.” The group consists of hardcore al-Qaida members who broke away from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the strongest al-Qaida-linked terrorist group in Idlib province.

In 2017, a U.S. airstrike killed a former aide to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida’s second in command in Syria, Abu al-Kheir al-Masri.

Idlib is the final main opposition enclave in war-torn Syria.
