American attack in Syria kills key ISIS commander, according to US Central Command

A US strike in Syria has killed a senior ISIS leader who planned attacks into Europe, United States Central Command said in a statement. Khalid ‘Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri was a senior ISIS figure who was responsible for planning attacks into Europe and developing the leadership structure for ISIS. No civilians were killed or injured in the strike. The US is committed to the campaign to defeat ISIS and said its operations “alongside partner forces in Iraq and Syria continues.” The development comes just over a month after the US military and Syrian Democratic Forces conducted a helicopter raid in Syria that killed another senior ISIS leader, Hamza al-Homsi. Four US troops, as well as a working dog, were wounded during the raid.
