A senior official of the Islamic State (IS) organization was captured during a US operation in Syria on Thursday June 16, announced the anti-jihadist coalition led by the United States. This man, whose identity has not been revealed, is a “experienced bomb maker” and one of the main IS leaders in the country. “The operation was meticulously planned to minimize the risk of collateral damage, in particular any potential harm to civilians, said the coalition. No civilians were injured during the operation and there was no damage to coalition aircraft or property.”
IS supporters regularly carry out ambushes against Kurdish-led forces and Syrian government troops, while continuing to carry out attacks in Iraq. On February 3, US President Joe Biden announced the death of the leader of the terrorist group, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurachi, who blew himself up during an operation by US special forces in the northwest of Syria.
