A group leader from the terrorist organization IS and another IS member have been killed by American forces in an attack in Syria, announces the US military.
The attack took place on Thursday in the Deir Ezzor province in the eastern parts of the country, according to the US military command for the Middle East, Centcom.
"This airstrike is part of Centcom's ongoing commitment, together with partners in the region, to disrupt and degrade terrorists' attempts to plan, organize and execute attacks", announces Centcom.
The US military has repeatedly attacked targets belonging to the Islamic extremist organization. Since the Assad regime fell earlier in December, the US has increased its military efforts against IS.
