The United States Army reported this Wednesday on the death in a bombing in Syria of a senior official of the Islamic State terrorist group identified as Usama Yamal Muhamad Ibrahim al Yanabi, and with no indication that there have been any casualties among the civilian population. .

“On June 16, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) carried out an airstrike in Syria, killing Usama Yamal Muhamad Ibrahim al Yanabi, a senior commander and coordinator of the Islamic State. His death will undermine the capabilities of the Islamic State to obtain resources and carry out terrorist attacks,” he expressed on his social network account X.

After this, he has indicated that they will continue to carry out this type of operations together with their allies and regional partners in order to degrade the capacity of the jihadist group and “ensure a lasting defeat” of it.

Islamic State lost control of its last stronghold in March 2019 with the takeover of Baghuz by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) – led by the Kurdish militia People’s Protection Units (YPG) -, although it has led to dozens of attacks have been carried out in recent months, especially in the triangle between the provinces of Homs, Raqqa and Deir Ezzor.
