Among them was a leader of the group Hurras al-Din, an organization affiliated with Al-Qaeda in Syria, which operates in the province of Idlib and western Aleppo, the last opposition stronghold against the Syrian government.
"These strikes against the leadership and operatives of ISIS and the Al-Qaeda affiliate Hurras al-Din represent CENTCOM's commitment to defeating terrorist organizations within CENTCOM's area of responsibility and our support for regional stability," said General Michael Erik Kurilla, commander of Central Command.
He also noted that "there are no indications that any civilians were injured in the attacks."
Both IS and Hurras al-Din are under the focus of the United States, which aims to reduce the capabilities of both organizations in Syria.
