A U.S. airstrike in northwest Syria kills Ali Husayn al-'Ulaywi after striking a motorcycle near the village of Deir Hassan close to the Turkey border, US Central Command says.The operation is part of a continuing campaign of precision strikes by the US military to disrupt Islamic State residual cells that threaten Americans at home and abroad.Central Command commander Brad Cooper says the operation follows Operation Hawkeye Strike, a campaign launched under President Donald Trump after a December ambush that killed two US soldiers and an American interpreter, and notes that February strikes removed at least 50 Islamic State members.The United States says it will continue air operations with regional partners to protect service members, allies and the homeland while supporting Kurdish-led forces that have battled
Islamic State for more than a decade.
