US Central Command (Centcom) announced a precise drone strike in Syria that killed Abu Abdul Rahman al-Makki, a key figure in the Guardians of Religion organization linked to Al-Qaeda. The operation, which took place in the southern countryside of Idlib, aimed to disrupt ongoing terrorist activities and enhance regional stability.
Al-Makki was reportedly overseeing terrorist operations from Syria and was targeted while riding his motorcycle. The strike highlights the continued threat posed by extremist groups in the region, despite the territorial losses of ISIS.
The US maintains around 900 troops in Syria as part of an international coalition aimed at combating ISIS and related organizations. This operation is part of broader efforts to prevent the resurgence of terrorist groups that threaten both regional and international security.
