US military kills senior Daesh commander in Syria drone strike

A senior member of the Daesh terrorist group, who was allegedly in control of planning assaults in Europe, has been killed in a drone strike carried out by the American-led coalition in northwestern Syria, the U.S. army stated Tuesday.

The man killed Monday within the strike was recognized by a U.S. army assertion as Khalid Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri. The army assertion added that his demise “will temporarily disrupt the organization’s ability to plot external attacks.”

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition warfare monitor, stated Monday that one particular person was killed in a drone strike close to the opposition-held village of Kefteen.

The opposition’s Syrian Civil Defense, often known as the White Helmets, stated it evacuated the person from the scene of the assault and he later succumbed to his wounds.

The strike was the most recent in a collection of assaults over the previous years concentrating on al-Qaida-linked terrorists and senior members of Daaesh in northwestern Syria.

Most of these killed by U.S. strikes within the opposition-held Idlib province over the previous years had been members of the al-Qaida offshoot Horas al-Din, which is Arabic for “Guardians of Religion.”

The group allegedly consists of hardcore al-Qaida members who broke away from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the strongest armed group in Idlib province.

In February, a drone strike killed two males, whom native activists initially recognized as Horas al-Din members. The Observatory later stated that one of many two killed was a senior member of the Daesh terrorist group that was defeated in Syria in March 2019.
