Early on April 29, a senior commander of ISIS was reportedly killed in the northern Syrian town of Jindires, which is occupied by the Turkish military and its proxies.
Some Syrian activists said that the commander was killed when his hideout was hit by a drone strike, suggesting that the United States-led coalition was behind the assassination. However, other activists said that the commander blew himself up after Turkish special forces raided the hideout.
The slain ISIS commander is yet to be identified. A photo from the scene in Jindires showed a severely damaged two-storied villa.
Jindires is a part of the Kurdish area of Afrin in the northern Aleppo countryside. The area became a safe haven for ISIS terrorists after being occupied by the Turkish military and its proxies some five years ago. U.S. drone strikes killed several senior commanders of ISIS in Afrin in the last few years. Some of the slain terrorists were carrying fake credentials issued by Turkish-backed armed factions and local authorities.
In the last few months, the U.S. stepped up operations against ISIS in Syria. The Turkish military, on the other side, rarely conducts operations against the terrorist group.
The upcoming few days will likely reveal more information about the operation in Jindires, and the identity of the slain ISIS commander.
US is eliminating all these terrorists they created whose loyalty is not certain to them. That’s all.
