En coordination avec le gouvernement fédéral de la Somalie, le Commandement des États-Unis pour l’Afrique a mené une frappe aérienne contre les terroristes d’al-Shabaab après qu’ils aient attaqué les forces partenaires dans un endroit éloigné près de Libikus, en Somalie, le 17 juillet 2022. Les forces américaines sont autorisées à mener des frappes pour défendre les forces partenaires désignées. L’évaluation initiale du commandement est que deux terroristes d’al-Shabaab ont été tués au combat et qu’aucun civil n’a été blessé ou tué étant donné la nature éloignée de l’endroit où cet engagement s’est produit. Le gouvernement fédéral de la Somalie et le Commandement des États-Unis pour l’Afrique prennent de grandes mesures pour éviter les pertes civiles. Ces efforts contrastent avec les attaques aveugles qu’al-Shabaab mène régulièrement contre la population civile. Le gouvernement fédéral de la Somalie et les États-Unis restent déterminés à combattre alShabaab pour empêcher la mort de civils innocents. Les organisations extrémistes violentes comme al-Shabaab présentent des menaces à long terme pour les intérêts somaliens, régionaux et américains.

Release Number 20220712-01

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TAMPA, Fla. – U.S. Central Command Forces conducted a UAS strike outside Jindayris, northwest Syria targeting two senior ISIS officials, July 12, 2022. Maher al-Agal, one of the top five ISIS leaders and the leader of ISIS in Syria, was killed in the strike. A senior ISIS official closely associated with Maher was seriously injured during the strike. Extensive planning went into this operation to ensure its successful execution. An initial review indicates there were no civilian casualties.

In addition to being a senior leader within the group, Al-Agal was responsible for aggressively pursuing the development of ISIS networks outside of Iraq and Syria.

“This strike reaffirms CENTCOM’s steadfast commitment to the region and the enduring defeat of ISIS,” said Col. Joe Buccino, a CENTCOM spokesperson. “The removal of these ISIS leaders will disrupt the terrorist organization’s ability to further plot and carry out global attacks.”

“ISIS continues to represent a threat to the U.S. and partners in the region,” Buccino added. “CENTCOM maintains a sufficient and sustainable presence in the region and will continue to counter threats against regional security.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CENTCOM Forces conducted a kinetic strike in Idlib province, Syria, June 27, targeting Abu Hamzah al Yemeni, a senior leader of Hurras al-Din, an Al Qaeda-aligned terrorist organization. Abu Hamzah al Yemeni was traveling alone on a motorcycle at the time of the strike. Initial review indicates no civilian casualties.

Violent extremist organizations, including Al Qaeda-aligned organizations such as Hurras al-Din, continue to present a threat to America and our allies. Al Qaeda-aligned militants use Syria as a safe haven to coordinate with their external affiliates and plan operations outside of Syria. The removal of this senior leader will disrupt Al Qaeda’s ability to carry out attacks against U.S. citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians around the world.
