U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed Wednesday that it killed Ali Hussein al-Ulaiwi, a senior ISIS commander, in a strike in northern Syria on Friday. The announcement comes four days after the operation. CENTCOM has not yet released further details on the target, the specific location, or the means of attack.
This marks a continuation of U.S. counterterrorism operations in Syria targeting the remnants of ISIS, which still maintains cells and limited operational capacity in the Syrian desert. As The Zioneer reported on Wednesday at 15:34, the initial bulletin covered the same announcement, and this message provides no additional corroboration or new details beyond the original statement.
The Pentagon has not indicated whether the strike involved manned aircraft, drones, or special operations forces on the ground.
