US drone strike targets ISIS leader in Syria’s Raqqa
RAQQA, Syria (North Press) – On Monday, a drone strike, expected to be of US-led Global Coalition, targeted a leader of the Islamic State Organization (ISIS) in the northern countryside of Raqqa, north Syria.
A military source told North Press, a drone of the US-led Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS targeted a security leader of the ISIS in the town of Hammam al-Turkman, 25 km north of Raqqa.
The town has been under the control of Turkish forces and their affiliated armed opposition factions, known as Syrian National Army (SNA) since the “Peace Spring” operation on October 9, 2019.
The source said the coalition fired three rockets at the man who was riding a motorcycle.
On October 6, the US forces killed ISIS deputy leader in Syria known as Abu-Hashum al-Umawi and another senior ISIS official associated with him in a village in northern Syria.
