The leader of the Islamic State group in Syria was killed by a US drone strike, the Pentagon said.
US officials who spoke to NBC News said the target was IS’s leader in Syria, Maher al-Aghal, and his deputy. It is not clear if the second person was killed or injured.
Earlier, the Syrian White Helmets group reported that one person was killed and another injured when a drone targeted a motorcycle in Aleppo province. The injured man later succumbed, according to this source.
One of the passengers in the plane had an ID card with the name “Khalid Shubaih” on it, Syrian media reported.
This raid took place just one day before US President Joe Biden’s tour of Israel and Saudi Arabia began.
In June, US forces captured Hani Ahmed al-Kurdi, a senior IS operative in Syria.
