Top ISIS commander eliminated by Syrian airstrike in rural Hama
2018-02-17
[ALMASDARNEWS] Information has just begun to surface that the Syrian Air Force killed a high-ranking ISIS commander during a strike against positions of the terrorist group in northeast Hama province well over a week ago.

The slain bad boy commander has been identified as Gazook Paleostinian Abu Abdullah al-Ghazzawi (picture below).
They do get around, those Palestinians. The West Bankers tend to make themselves useful in Saudi factories and such, where their Israel-supported educations make them useful; the Gazans have lately been going in for leadership among the jihadis. Perhaps they’re frustrated with Hamas’ impotence with regard to Israel in recent years.
He led forces of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
affiliate militia Jund al-Aqsa (technically defunct since February 2017).

Abu Abdullah al-Ghazzawi joined the ranks of ISIS in Syria at some point during 2013. Prior to that he was an active member of the Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", rebel group in Gazoo.

Reports also mention that twenty days prior to being killed by Syrian airpower in rural Hama, Abu Abdullah al-Ghazzawi had been maimed, losing one of his hands (apparently so badly injured that it had to be amputated).

The Syrian Army successful concluded its operations against ISIS in northwest Syria well over one week ago, and no specific date as to when the ISIS commander was killed has yet been provided.
