US carries out strike inside Syria, targeting 'senior' terrorist leader: CENTCOM
[ALARABIYA] The US military said it conducted a "kinetic strike" overnight Monday in Syria in an operation that targeted a senior al-Qaeda-linked terrorist.

"CENTCOM Forces conducted a kinetic strike in Idlib province, Syria, June 27, targeting Abu Hamzah al Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i, a big shot of Hurrah al-Din, an Al Qaeda-aligned terrorist organization," a statement from the US Central Command read.

The US has come under increased criticism for Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s that have killed civilians. But the US said al-Yemeni was alone while traveling on a cycle of violence, and no civilian casualties were reported.

Extremist organizations like Hurras al-Din continue to present a threat to America and its allies, CENTCOM said, adding that al-Qaeda-aligned bully boyz use Syria as a safe haven to coordinate with external affiliates and plan operations outside of Syria.

"The removal of this big shot will disrupt al-Qaeda’s ability to carry out attacks against US citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians around the world," CENTCOM said.

US-led coalition troops detained a senior ISIS leader earlier this month, also inside Syria, the Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) said.

Also this year, US President Joe The Big Guy Biden

announced a special operation carried out by US troops, killing ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi.
Courtesy of Frank G, the Jerusalem Post adds:
The strikes targeted Abu Hamzah al Yemeni, a "senior leader" of Al Qaeda-aligned Hurras al-Din.

It added that an initial review did not indicate civilian casualties.

The Syrian Civil Defence, a humanitarian organization, said in a tweet that a man was killed shortly before midnight after his motorcycle was targeted with two rockets, adding it has transferred the body to the forensic department in Idlib city.

#1 ...Interesting commentary on this over at the Always Fascinating strategypage.com . Short version - apparently the various terrorist leaders are finding life quite uncomfortable these days.

For some time their preferred strategy was to hide in crowds...until the Russians and Syrians stopped caring and started taking out the crowds as well. Moving alone by motorcycle is fast, but then you have the problem of the United States Air Force and its Predator crews being realy, really good at finding lone dudes on motorcycles trying to look inconspicuous.
