U.S. Central Command confirmed on June 24, 2026, that a precision airstrike in northwest Syria killed Ali Husayn al-'Ulaywi, a high-ranking ISIS official. The operation, conducted on June 19 near Deir Hassan, was part of ongoing efforts to degrade the militant group's ability to plan external attacks. Since the fall of the Assad regime in late 2024, ISIS sleeper cells have intensified operations against the new Syrian authorities and international interests in the region.
