US carries out strike inside Syria, targeting 'senior' terrorist leader: CENTCOM
2022-06-28
[ALARABIYA] The US military said it conducted a "kinetic strike" overnight Monday in Syria in an operation that targeted a senior al-Qaeda-linked terrorist.

"CENTCOM Forces conducted a kinetic strike in Idlib province, Syria, June 27, targeting Abu Hamzah al Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i, a big shot of Hurrah al-Din, an Al Qaeda-aligned terrorist organization," a statement from the US Central Command read.

s that have killed civilians. But the US said al-Yemeni was alone while traveling on a cycle of violence, and no civilian casualties were reported.

Extremist organizations like Hurras al-Din continue to present a threat to America and its allies, CENTCOM said, adding that al-Qaeda-aligned bully boyz use Syria as a safe haven to coordinate with external affiliates and plan operations outside of Syria.

"The removal of this big shot will disrupt al-Qaeda’s ability to carry out attacks against US citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians around the world," CENTCOM said.

US-led coalition troops detained a senior ISIS leader earlier this month, also inside Syria, the Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) said.

announced a special operation carried out by US troops, killing ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi.

The strikes targeted Abu Hamzah al Yemeni, a "senior leader" of Al Qaeda-aligned Hurras al-Din.

It added that an initial review did not indicate civilian casualties.

The Syrian Civil Defence, a humanitarian organization, said in a tweet that a man was killed shortly before midnight after his motorcycle was targeted with two rockets, adding it has transferred the body to the forensic department in Idlib city.
