Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security said Umar was a Pakistani citizen, though some reports claim he was born in India.
He "was killed along with six other AQIS members, most of them Pakistani", the NDS tweeted, adding that Umar had been "embedded" with the Taliban.
The raid was part of a lengthy and confusing overnight operation between September 22 and 23 for which the U.S. provided air support.
Authorities said they would investigate reports that 40 civilians, including children, were killed in an air strike during the operation.
The NDS said that among the six other AQIS members killed in the raid was a man identified as "Raihan", a courier for al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
U.S. forces in Afghanistan declined to comment.
Under a stalled withdrawal plan negotiated between the U.S. and the Taliban, Washington agreed to pull troops from Afghanistan if the insurgents abide by security guarantees and cut all ties with al-Qaeda.
