Senior IS commander planning attacks in Europe is killed in Syria, says US military
[IsraelTimes] Officials say Khalid Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri was target of American dronezap, operation will temporarily disrupt terror group’s ability to carry out assaults

A dronezap carried out by the American-led coalition in northwestern Syria has killed a senior member of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems...
terror group who was in charge of planning attacks in Europe, the United States military said Tuesday.

The man killed Monday in the strike was identified by a US military statement as Khalid Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri.
...but his friends called him Joe — after the president, donchaknow...
The military statement added that his death "will temporarily disrupt the organization’s ability to plot external attacks."

The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said on Monday that one person was killed in a dronezap near the rebel-held village of Kefteen.

The opposition’s Syrian Civil Defense, also known as the White Helmets, said it evacuated the man from the scene of the attack and he later succumbed to his wounds.

The strike was the latest in a series of attacks over the past years targeting al-Qaeda-linked holy warriors and senior members of the Islamic State group in northwestern Syria.

Most of those killed by US strikes in the rebel-held Idlib province over the past years were members of al-Qaeda offshoot Horas al-Din, which is Arabic for "Guardians of Religion." The group includes hardcore al-Qaeda members who broke away from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
, the strongest Death Eater group in Idlib province.

In February, a dronezap killed two men, whom local deep thinkers initially identified as Horas al-Din members. The Observatory later said that one of the two killed was a senior member of the Islamic State group, which was defeated in Syria in March 2019.
