The U.S. military conducted a raid in northwest Syria that targeted and killed Abu Ibrahim al Hashimi al Qurayshi, the leader of ISIS, early Thursday morning.

Al Qurayshi, who took control of the terrorist group in October 2019 after Abu Bakr al Baghdadi killed himself as U.S. troops closed in on him in the same region, met the same fate as his predecessor. He detonated “a significant blast, killing himself and several others, including his wife and children,” according to a senior administration official, who noted that al Qurayshi was living on the third floor of a residential building surrounded by non-ISIS militants.
