Dhiya’ Zawba Muslih al-Hardani, who was identified as the ISIS leader, was killed in the operation along with his sons Abdallah Dhiya al-Hardani and Abd al-Rahman Dhiya Zawba al-Hardani, according to U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM.
“These ISIS individuals posed a threat to U.S. and Coalition Forces, as well as the new Syrian Government,” a CENTCOM news release says.
