Top ISIS Leader Killed In US-Iraqi Strike — 'Relentlessly Hunted Down by Our Intrepid Warfighters,' Says Trump

  • Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai, also known as Abu Khadijah, a high-profile leader of ISIS, was killed in a precision airstrike on Thursday in western Iraq, specifically Al Anbar province.
  • The airstrike was the result of a joint effort between U.S. Forces and Iraqi intelligence and security services, coordinated with the Iraqi Government and the Kurdish Regional Government, against the backdrop of declining ISIS territorial control but continuing activity and threat.
  • Abu Khadijah, who narrowly escaped capture in a previous raid where DNA was collected, was the deputy caliph of ISIS and oversaw global operations, logistics, and financial matters, according to CNN.
  • President Donald Trump stated, 'Today the fugitive leader of ISIS in Iraq was killed,' adding 'PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!'
  • Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani hailed the operation as a significant blow to ISIS, posting on X, 'The Iraqis continue their remarkable victories against the forces of darkness and terrorism,' and the U.S. And Iraqi forces consider the joint effort a major victory in the fight against terrorism.
