Reports the US-led Coalition killed Sami Uraydi
… also known as Abu Mahmud al-Shami, he was born in 1973 in Amman, Jordan, ending up on the Shura Council of Al Qaeda-linked Hurras al-Din after it split off from Al Nusra,…
in a drone strike in N. #Idlib last night.

Prominent Jordanian jihadist figure, Uraydi was a religious leader and Sharia judge.

He left JFS (evolution of Jabhat Nusra) in 2016 after disagreements over the group's decision to sever ties with Al-Qaeda and later joined Hurras al-Din.

Several airstrikes - local reports claim 5 - have struck the northern countryside of Idlib, bordering Aleppo.

The airstrikes, carried out by the USA, have struck at least 1 target - Syrian Government official Sami Mahmoud al-Aridi as he was riding on a motorcycle who is a leader of Hurras al Din and similarly as Jolani wanted by the US government with a bounty of 5 million dollars.

The strike was carried out using a AGM-114R9X Hellfire missile; popularly known as the ninja missile.

A second wave of airstrikes struck a site in the western countryside of Idlib; the Syrian government imposed a media ban on coverage.

This is the price which Syria has to pay for Jolanis refusal to attack Lebanon - more airstrikes are to come and Jolanis followers continue to grow uneasy.
