SULAIMANI (ESTA) — The U.S. military said it carried out an air strike on Thursday in northern Syria that killed two Islamic State members including a leader it named as Abu-Hashum al-Umawi.

As with the helicopter raid, the U.S. military’s Central Command said initial assessments indicated no civilian casualties and it said there were no U.S. military casualties.
