The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) says a U.S. airstrike in northwestern Syria killed a senior Islamic State (ISIS) leader. CENTCOM states that its forces carried out an airstrike on June 19 in the northwest part of the country, and that the operation resulted in the death of Ali Husayn al-‘Ulaywi, described as a senior ISIS figure. France 24 reports that CENTCOM announced the strike on Wednesday and places it last Friday, while Fox News similarly cites a June 19 airstrike and the same death. Both accounts attribute the operation to CENTCOM and describe it as part of ongoing U.S. efforts to disrupt and eliminate terrorist threats. CENTCOM also says its forces continue to work alongside regional partners. No additional operational details, such as specific targets or broader outcomes, are provided in the reports. The information comes directly from CENTCOM announcements on social media and in its communications.
