A US strike in Syria has killed a senior ISIS leader who planned attacks into Europe
The strike, carried out on Monday, was a “unilateral” US operation that killed Khalid ‘Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri, CENTCOM said in the statement posted to Twitter. Al-Jabouri was a senior ISIS figure who “was responsible for planning ISIS attacks into Europe and developed the leadership structure for ISIS,” CENTCOM said. No civilians were killed or injured in the strike, according to CENTCOM. “ISIS continues to represent a threat to the region and beyond,” CENTCOM commander, Gen.
” Al-Jabouri’s death will “temporarily disrupt the organization’s ability to plot external attacks,” the statement said. The US said it was committed to the campaign to defeat ISIS and said its operations “alongside partner forces in Iraq and Syria continues.” The development comes just over a month after the US military and Syrian Democratic Forces conducted a helicopter raid in Syria that killed another senior ISIS leader, Hamza al-Homsi.
