The US Central Command (CENTCOM) revealed that the name of the leader of the “ISIS” organization, which was targeted in the extraction operation in the rural area of Aleppo Governorate in northern Syria, at dawn yesterday, is Abdul Hadi Mahmud al-Hac.
The Central Command said in a statement that Al-Hajj is the leader of the organization in Syria and the operational leader of planning “terrorist” attacks in the Middle East and Europe.
A few days ago, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that its forces had targeted a prominent ISIS leader in northern Syria, accused of “planning terrorist attacks in the Middle East and Europe”.
Centcom spokesman Joe Buccino said a US helicopter conducted a raid in northern Syria that may have killed a senior ISIS leader.
Noting that “two more armed elements were killed in the American raid,” Buccino emphasized that “the operation did not result in the death of any American soldier or civilian and did not damage the helicopter.”
A source from the “Northern Brigade” faction of the Syrian opposition confirmed that seven helicopters participated in the airstrike on the village of As-Suwayda, in the Jarablus countryside east of Aleppo, which resulted in the arrest of five people.
Speaking to the German news agency, the source stated that 2 people from the “Northern Brigade” were killed and 4 people were injured in the clashes with the coalition forces, “One of the helicopters was damaged as a result of this attack. It was shot down.”
Local residents said that among the detainees was one person from the city of As-Safira, in rural Aleppo, who had been living in the village of As-Suwayda for several months.
