Senior al-Qaeda-affiliate leader killed in US airstrike in Syria
ISTANBUL (AA) — US forces killed a senior leader of al-Qaeda-linked Hurras al-Din in an airstrike in northwestern Syria, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said Saturday.
The strike, conducted last Sunday as part of the US’ ongoing counterterrorism operations with regional partners, killed Muhammed Yusuf Ziya Talay, a senior military leader, CENTCOM said in a statement on X.
“As we have said in the past, we will continue to relentlessly pursue these terrorists in order to defend our homeland, and U.S., allied, and partner personnel in the region,” said Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, commander of CENTCOM.
