The United States Central Command announced on July 25 that its forces killed a senior commander of ISIS during an early morning raid in the city of al-Bab in the northern Syrian governorate of Aleppo.
In a statement, the command said that the commander, Dhiya’ Zawba Muslih al-Hardani, was killed along with his two adult ISIS-affiliated sons, Abdallah Dhiya al-Hardani and Abd al-Rahman Dhiya Zawba al-Hardani, in the raid.
The three “posed a threat to U.S. and Coalition Forces, as well as the new Syrian Government,” the command added, noting that three women and three children who were present with the slain men were unharmed.
“We will continue to relentlessly pursue ISIS terrorists wherever they are. ISIS terrorists are not safe where they sleep, where they operate, and where they hide. Alongside our partners and allies, U.S. Central Command is committed to the enduring defeat of ISIS terrorists that threaten the region, our allies, and our homeland,” said Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, U.S. Central Command Commander.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based monitoring group, said that the U.S.-led coalition carried out the raid in partnership with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the General Security Service (GSS) of Syria’s interim government.
Video footage taken during the raid shows members of the GSS blocking the roads leading to the compound that was raided by U.S. forces, which indicate that the operation was at least coordinated with the interim government. However, there is not indication that the SDF took part in the raid, which happened outside the areas its control in northern and eastern Syria.
It’s worth noting that three of ISIS leaders, including the terrorist group founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, were killed in similar raids in northern Syria in 2019, 2022 and 2023. Al-Baghdadi and his successor Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi were killed by U.S. forces, while Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Qurashi, the fourth “caliph” of the group, was killed by the Turkish military.
The latest raid in al-Bab shows that the U.S., which withdrew some of its forces from Syria earlier this year, is not planning to leave the war-torn country any time soon.

” the grandly named syrian observatory for human rights is virtually a one-man band. its founder, rami abdul rahman, who fled syria (in 2000), operates out of a semidetached red-brick house on an ordinary residential street in (coventry, england).” – new york times article from 2013. what they don’t say is that he is (was) paid by the foreign office (mi6) to publish propaganda about assad.
do you know his address, i would like to visit him and say ciao.
and what you aren’t saying is that mi6 works totally to protect king and country, mi5 is specifically for the family and 6 their kingdom.
most 9f the world’s grandly named operations are the same just a small gang of like minded members of the same societies all controlled by the top of their pyramid power structure.
its funny how these sunni scum are used and tossed out like a used condom. they get paid to do the dirty work for the west then they get disposed off like the scum and dirty muzl1m trash they are. well played usa like the ukies
i would have liked it better if netanyahu had killed jolani.
hunting sand-apes…heheheh
there you are! now displaying your childhood values in your naming rites.
al-hardani, was a bad isis, al-jolani-sharaa is a “good” isis.
so i suppose the us “september 2016 deir ez-zor air raid” on syrian army forces in the tharda mountains were helping the “good” isis.
as if it makes any difference whatsoever.
so the us iillegaly nvades syria to murder isis members for al queda led hts dictatorship ? also the us-backed israelis bombed al suweiya .the clowns of dystopia return to the front page news . the greater israel mafia cabal has no limit to its genocidal violence . free palestine .
humm, its creator (usa) now wants to destroy its creation (isis). i don’t think this is happening.
isis comes from isis horus set the original egyptian trinity which is incorporated into fremnsonary which opened its first office in the city of london in the 1700s i believe from memory maybe 1762, something like that anyway . you can see statues of isis all over buildings in switzerland if you look.
of course the us can’t leave. if they did then that would be 1984 in complete control. but trump now is not funding any nato country at all. they now have to totally pay their own way which is a first. and 1984 is the precursor to globalist imperialism to build the world again, and build back better in their view better as they decide without any democratic process whatsoever.
a regime change in isis before there is a regime. or headchoppers get headchopped.
