“His death will disrupt ISIS’s ability to resource and conduct terror attacks. CENTCOM, alongside allies and partners in the region, will continue to execute operations to degrade ISIS’s operational capabilities and ensure its enduring defeat. There is no indication any civilians were harmed in this strike,” it added.
CNN claimed that ISIS executives in the Middle East and Africa are still being targeted by the US military. According to CNN, an airstrike carried out in a remote area close to Dhaardaar, Somalia, around three weeks ago was estimated to have killed three ISIS terrorists.
Between January and March, CENTCOM and its allies killed seven ISIS militants and seized 27 more in Syria. The study states that 11 agents were killed and 36 people were detained in Iraq during that time.
