A US air strike in Western Iraq on Thursday killed the ISIS Global Operations Chief, which also serves as a second ISIS command, Abdallah Makki Muslih Al-Rifai, also known as Abu Hadia, along with another ISIS operative, US officials confirmed.
On Thursday, the US Central Command forces, in collaboration with Iraqi intelligence and security forces, held a precise air strike in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, who killed Abu Hadidja, according to Centcom.
“As an emir of the highest decision-making body, Abu Hadi maintains responsibility for the operations, logistics and planning conducted by ISIS worldwide, and directs a significant part of finances for the global organization of the group,” staff said.

After the strike Centcom and Iraqi, they moved to the scene of the impact and found the two dead bodies, both dressed in unexplored “suicide vests” and had numerous weapons, Centcom said.
Centcom and Iraqi forces have been able to identify Abu Hadi through a DNA DNA match collected at a previous raid, in which Abu Hadidja has fled closely, employees confirmed.
“Abu Hadi was one of the most important ISIS members in the entire ISIS global organization. We will continue to kill terrorists and dismantle their organizations, which threaten our homeland and us, allied and partner employees in the region and outside, “said General Michael Eric Curila, commander, central US Command.”
