The US strikes an Islamic State leader in northern Syria

The US military said it had carried out an airstrike against a senior leader of the Islamic State militant group in northern Syria.

"The attack resulted in the possible killing of the targeted individual," US Central Command said in a statement.

According to her, two gunmen were killed in the operation.

In the statement, it is also said that American troops or civilians on the ground did not suffer.

The head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman, confirmed to DPA that three people were killed - two at the site of the operation and one on the outskirts of a village.

The observer said that the attack took place in the village of Jarabulus, east of Aleppo.

According to Abdel Rahman, the militant who was targeted was called "Abu Al-Baraa".

According to some reports, he was responsible for planning several attacks in the Middle East and Europe.

On April 12, US Central Command announced that it had captured an Islamic State terrorist militia operative and two associates in eastern Syria.

American forces have been deployed in Syria since 2015, to help the Syrian Kurds and their allies in the fight against the Islamic State./REL
