Two senior Islamic State leaders killed in airstrike

Gen. Kevin Killea. “With more than 5,200 strikes in Syria and Iraq since the beginning of the air campaign, the coalition continues to show its commitment to supporting anti-[ISIL] forces”.

The Defense Department on Saturday reported 27 strikes against the State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIL or ISIS, in Syria and Iraq.

Two senior Islamic State leaders were killed in an airstrike in northeastern Syria on Monday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.

The Observatory, that will collects its resources and info because of an liberated community on the floor, accepted the leaders since an Iraqi, Abu Osama al-Iraqi, plus a Syrian titled Amer al-Rafdan.

The statement said the nearest air strike by U.S.-led forces to Ar Raqqa’s city center was 4.2 miles (6.75 km) away and targeted four bridges.

Kurdish fighters have made gains in war-torn Syria against the Islamic State (IS) group, notably in land close to the border in the north with Turkey, triggering concern in Ankara that the Kurds might attempt to establish their own state in Syria.

The ultra-hardline Islamic State is fighting in Hasaka province against both pro-government forces and Syrian Kurdish fighters who have received air support from the US-led coalition.

Abdulrahman said al-Iraqi had the title of “governor” of the province Islamic State had declared in northeastern Syria.

Islamic State previous year declared a cross-border “caliphate” claiming to rule over all Muslims.
