U.S. Central Command announced that American forces killed a senior Islamic State leader, Dhiya’ Zawba Muslih al-Hardani, and his two sons in an Aleppo, Syria operation. The strike, which involved no civilian casualties, occurred despite a recent U.S. troop drawdown in Syria. Gen. Michael Kurilla stated the U.S. will continue pursuing ISIS terrorists. The operation follows a meeting between Syrian and American officials to enhance counter-terrorism cooperation.
