US says drone strike kills ISIS leader in Syria
The drone strike is the latest in a series of operations targeting terrorist leaders who have found refuge in a region of the country controlled by rebel forces affiliated with Islamic extremists groups.
U.S. Central Command said in a statement that the strike occurred on Tuesday outside of Jindayris in northwest Syria targeting two senior ISIS leaders.
"Maher al-Agal, one of the top five ISIS leaders and the leader of ISIS in Syria, was killed in the strike," said the statement.
"A senior ISIS official closely associated with Maher was seriously injured during the strike," it added. "Extensive planning went into this operation to ensure its successful execution. An initial review indicates there were no civilian casualties."
