Northern Syria, near the Turkish border. A raid by US special forces surrounds the location of ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi. He blows himself up along with his wife and children. The victims in total include, in addition to himself, six children and four women. The leader’s killing comes just as ISIS is resurfacing after the strategic slumber of the past two years, with a series of attacks such as the one on Hasak prison in northeastern Syria a few days earlier.
