Although the news about ISIS has largely disappeared from our TV screens and social media feeds since the extremist group lost any territorial control in Syria and Iraq in 2019, U.S. Central Command and allies continue Operation Inherent Resolve.
In the last few years, they have conducted numerous special operations and targeted drone attacks, killing and capturing various ISIS leaders, with the latest successful counterterrorism operation announced last week.
On July 12, the U.S. military and intelligence community carried out a precision drone strike outside of Jindayris in northwest Syria, killing a “top five” ISIS leader, Maher al-Agal, who was responsible for aggressively pursuing the development of ISIS networks outside of Iraq and Syria, CENTCOM said.
