Three top ISIS operatives were killed in Syria on Friday as part of an ongoing U.S. effort to prevent the terrorist group from rebuilding power in the Middle East.
The raid, carried out by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), targeted Dhiya’ Zawba Muslih al-Hardani, a senior Islamic State leader, and his two adult sons — Abdallah Dhiya al-Hardani and Abd al-Rahman Dhiya Zawba al-Hardani — all confirmed ISIS operatives.
The operation took place in al-Bab, in Syria’s Aleppo Governorate, an area long exploited by jihadist groups amid political instability.
“These ISIS individuals posed a threat to U.S. and Coalition Forces, as well as the new Syrian Government,” CENTCOM posted on X.
Importantly, no American personnel were harmed, and three women and three children present at the location were left unharmed, the Pentagon confirmed.
