US Central Command announced on Friday that its forces killed Hurras al-Din senior leader Abu-’Abd al-Rahman al-Makki in a targeted kinetic strike in Syria.
"Abu-’Abd al-Rahman al-Makki was a Hurras al-Din Shura Council member and senior leader responsible for overseeing terrorist operations from Syria," said CENTCOM.
The statement noted that Hurras al-Din is an Al-Qaeda-associated force based in Syria that shares Al-Qaeda’s global aspirations to conduct attacks against US and Western interests.
