AhlulBayt News Agency - Informed sources announced minutes ago that a notorious field commander of the ISIL terrorist group, alongside three of his comrades, was killed in an airstrike in the Northeastern province of Raqqa.
"Abu Yousef al-Jazrawi, one of the senior commanders of the ISIL with Saudi nationality, was killed in the Syrian fighter jets' raid on a jeep carrying al-Jazrawi and his three bodyguards," the sources said.
"The ISIL jeep, reportedly carrying al-Jazrawi, was completely set ablaze in the air attack," the sources added.
Last week, Russia’s Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said that his country's aviation carried out 87 sorties over the targets of the ISIL terrorist group in Syria’s Raqqa and Deir Ezzur provinces.
"Over the past four days the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out 87 sorties to attack ISIL facilities in the Raqqa and Deir Ezzur provinces," Konashenkov said.
"The Russian fighter jets also conducted several airstrikes around Arak region near Palmyra to support the government forces and self-defense militia units' offensives on terrorists in the area, resulting in seven command points of ISIL terrorists in this area destroyed," he said.
