Annotated
Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partners continue to strike Daesh targets in designated parts of Syria and Iraq.
Ongoing operations by Iraqi Security Forces and Syrian Democratic Forces, supported by CJTF-OIR efforts, demonstrate that much work remains to defeat Daesh here. OIR and its partners continue to remove Daesh from the battlefield and prevent the terrorist group’s ability to regroup and resume its capacity to threaten citizens of all nations.
Coalition airstrikes killed one senior Daesh leader in Syria in November, and another in December 2017, as well as killing four senior Daesh leaders in January 2018. The removal of these key terrorists disrupts Daesh’s leadership and information dissemination activities, reducing the terrorist group’s ability to plan and conduct terrorist attacks both within Syria and Iraq, and abroad.
Shaykh Abu Anas al Furati, a Daesh senior military commander, and two Daesh members were killed by a Coalition airstrike Nov. 27, 2017 near Hajin, Syria. Furati was responsible for coordinating Daesh attacks within Syria. His death further impairs Daesh command and control capabilities and reduces its ability to conduct terrorist activities in the region.
Abd al-Rahman Filipini, a Daesh military leader, was killed by a Coalition airstrike Dec. 13, 2017 near Hajin, Syria. An additional Daesh member was also killed during the strike.
Abd al Rahman al Tamimi, a Daesh military leader, killed Jan. 2, 2018 near Hajin, Syria.

Aysh al Dagestani, Daesh Brigade commander, killed Jan. 12, 2018 near Al Kashmah, Syria.
