Ankara: Turkish forces killed a leader Islamic country Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said late Sunday, during an operation in Syria. Recep Tayyip Erdogan told TRT Turk TV in an interview that the ISIS leader codenamed Abu Hussein al-Quraishi was killed in the raid on Saturday.
Erdogan said that Turkey’s intelligence agency, MIT, had been following him “for a long time”. “We will continue our struggle against terrorist organizations without discriminating against any of them,” Erdogan said in the interview. A member of the military police affiliated with the Turkish-backed Syrian opposition forces said that the intelligence services clashed with Islamic State militants in a farm in the village of Miska in Aleppo province late on Friday night. As the fighting intensified, al-Quraishi, who had been hiding in a building in Mazraa, blew himself up. Investigators were searching the hideout for clues and other information.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based opposition war monitor, added that Turkish drones flew over the area, as Turkish-backed Syrian opposition groups closed the roads leading to the area where the clashes took place after Ankara put them on high alert. There was no immediate confirmation from the ISIS group.
Turkey has carried out numerous operations against ISIS and Kurdish groups along the Syrian border, capturing or killing suspected militants. The state controls swathes of territory in northern Syria after a series of ground incursions to drive Kurdish groups away from the Turkish-Syrian border.
Abu Hussein al-Quraishi was named the militant group’s leader after its former leader was killed in October, and an IS spokesman described him as “a veteran and one of the loyal sons of the Islamic State”. He assumed leadership of the Islamic State at a time when the extremist group had lost control of the territories it once controlled in Iraq and Syria. However, he was trying to rise again, as sleeper cells launched deadly attacks in both countries.
The American forces were pursuing the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, in a raid in northwestern Syria in October 2019, and his successor, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Quraishi, was killed in a similar raid in February 2022, followed by Abu al-Hasan al-Hashemi al-Quraishi, according to him. The US military was killed in mid-October in an operation launched by Syrian opposition fighters in Daraa Governorate, southern Syria. He does not believe that any of the Quraysh are related. The Islamic State broke away from al-Qaeda about a decade ago and ended up controlling large parts of northern and eastern Syria as well as northern and western Iraq. In 2014, the organization declared its so-called caliphate, attracting supporters from all over the world. In 2019, US-backed Syrian fighters captured the last sliver of territory held by the extremists.
