HeadlineJul 28, 2025

The Pentagon says that it killed a senior Islamic State leader and two other members of ISIS in Aleppo, Syria, in a raid on Friday. The Pentagon said the men posed a threat to U.S. forces and the new Syrian government. This comes weeks after the U.S. lifted most economic sanctions on Syria. On Sunday, the head of Syria’s electoral commission announced that the country is set to hold its first parliamentary election under the new government in September.
