The US military said it carried out a strike in Syria on Friday that killed a senior leader of an al-Qaeda aligned group, Reuters said.
The strike targeted Abu-’Abd al-Rahman al-Makki, a senior leader of the al-Qaeda-aligned Hurras al-Din, the US Central Command said in a post on X.
The strike took place in the Jabal al-Zawiya area of the opposition-held Idlib province.
The US military has carried out a series of attacks over the past several years targeting al-Qaida-linked militants in northwestern Syria.
“CENTCOM remains committed to the enduring defeat of terrorists ... who threaten the United States, its allies and partners, and regional stability,” the CENTCOM commander, Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, said in a statement.
