The United States military launched a helicopter raid in northern Syria on Monday, resulting in the “probable death” of a senior leader and operational planner of ISIS, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement.
The statement said the leader was responsible for planning terror attacks in the Middle East and Europe. The raid also killed two other “armed individuals.”
“Though degraded, ISIS remains able to conduct operations within the region with a desire to strike beyond the Middle East,” said General Michael “Erik” Kurilla, CENTCOM commander. “We will continue the relentless campaign against ISIS.”
“This operation reaffirms CENTCOM’s steadfast commitment to the region and the enduring defeat of ISIS,” said Joe Buccino, a CENTCOM spokesperson. “We will provide additional details soon.”
