SDF kills ISIS leader in Syria’s Raqqa
[NPASyria] The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced on Thursday killing an Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) leader in a raid conducted on his residence in Raqqa Governorate, northern Syria.

The SDF Media Center said in a statement that SDF Anti-Terrorism Units (YAT), supported by the US-led Global Coalition and with the participation of forces of Sulaymaniyah-headquartered Counter-Terrorism Group (CTG) in Kurdistan Region of Iraq, conducted "a security operation in the heart of Raqqa City."

The statement said the operation targeted "the terrorist Ibrahim al-Ali aka Abu Mujahid, the ISIS official of the Eastern region" after raiding the building in which he was hiding.

According to the statement, the ISIS leader refused to surrender and began clashing with the SDF fighters, resulting in his killing.
That makes it easier for all involved, to be sure.
The forces confiscated several weapons and military equipment during the operation.

The SDF concluded that their forces, partnered with the Global Coalition, are committed to continuing their pursuit of ISIS leaders across different areas of northeast Syria.

ISIS lost its final stronghold in Syria in March 2019. The SDF, with the support of the US-led Global Coalition, defeated ISIS after fierce battles in the town of Baghuz in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria, bringing an end to the so-called caliphate declared by the terrorist ISIS.

After Baghouz, thousands of ISIS forces of Evil were transferred to prisons, while their families were transferred to Hawl and Roj camps in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES)-held areas.
