US Drone Strike Eliminates Top ISIS Leader in Syria

A US drone strike in Syria killed an Islamic State group leader, Usamah al-Muhajir, shortly after the drones were harassed by Russian military jets. The drones had been searching for the militant when they were harassed for about two hours. The US military confirmed the strike but did not provide details on how they identified al-Muhajir. This incident follows three days of complaints by US officials about unsafe and unprofessional behavior by Russian fighter jets in the region.
