A top Isis commander tipped to become the group’s new global leader was killed in one of the largest US counter-terror operations in years.

The four leaders killed were identified as Ahmad al-Ithawi, the operations leader for ISIS in Iraq; Abu Hammam, who oversaw operations in western Iraq; Abu Ali al-Tunisi, who managed technical development; and Shakir al-Issawi, who led the group’s military operations in western Iraq, according to Centcom.

Four ISIS leaders were killed as a result of raid in western Iraq late last month, the US military said Friday.

Last month’s raid In Iraq’s western Anbar Province resulted in the death of four top ISIS commanders, U.S. Central Command announced. The Aug. 29 mission, one of the biggest raids carried out under Operation Inherent Resolve, took out the terror group’s top commander in Iraq and 13 other fighters, and left seven American servicemembers injured.
