A drone strike, carried out by the American-led coalition in northwestern Syria yesterday, has killed a senior member of ISIS who was in charge of planning attacks in Europe.
A U.S. military statement said the man killed in the strike was identified as Khalid Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri. The statement added that his death will temporarily disrupt the organization’s ability to plot external attacks.
The strike was the latest in a series of attacks over the past years targeting al Qaeda-linked militants and senior ISIS members in northwestern Syria.
In February 2021, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, was killed in a U.S. raid in northwest Syria.
ISIS founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was hunted down by Americans in a raid in October 2019. In October, the leader of ISIS, Abu al-Hassan al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, was killed in battle with Syrian rebels in southern Syria.
