US Central Command announced Wednesday that a senior ISIS operative was killed in a Friday airstrike in northwestern Syria.

According to CENTCOM, the target was Ali Husayn al-‘Ulaywi, whom the military described as a senior leader within the terror organization.

The Pentagon said the strike was part of continuing US operations aimed at disrupting and eliminating terrorists who are plotting attacks against Americans overseas and within the United States. CENTCOM said it is coordinating these efforts with regional allies and partners.

“CENTCOM and our partners remain committed to rooting out remaining remnants of ISIS to ensure its enduring defeat,” CENTCOM Chief Adm. Brad Cooper said.

“We will continue to defend the US homeland, our service members, and allies and partners across the region,” Cooper added.

Separately, the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control announced sanctions Monday against three individuals and six entities located across Europe, the Middle East and West Africa that it said were involved in facilitating financial transactions for ISIS.

Among those sanctioned was France-based Miloud Abderrahmane, whom OFAC accused of conducting transactions with known ISIS affiliates, including operatives in Syria, and providing “instructional and manufacturing information on explosives” to ISIS supporters.

OFAC also imposed sanctions on Abdelhakim Boukich, a former Dutch national now based in Syria. The agency said Boukich oversees Bitcoin Xchange, a Syria-based money services business allegedly used to transfer funds from countries including the United States and the Netherlands to ISIS members.

In addition, Treasury sanctioned Mukhtar Adamu Muhammad, an ISIS operative in Nigeria accused of facilitating money transfers for Islamic State West Africa Province, known as ISWAP.
