As per NBC News and Al Arabiya on Thursday, the US airstrike reportedly killed three senior ISIS members, amongst them was said to be the aide of the Islamic State leader.

A senior Iraqi security executive reported to NBC News Thursday that the US airstrike in Iraq killed three Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) members including the ISIS leader aide Abu Hajar Al-Sufi. The assault transpired in the ISIS stronghold of Mosul.

An unidentified source reported that the US airstrike killed the ISIS leader aide Abu Hajar al-Sufi, an aide-de-camp to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, additionally, an explosives operative and military leader of neighboring Tel Afar. Saudi Television channel, Al Arabiya mentioned the Iraqi Defense Ministry stated that Baghdadi's aide had been killed. 

Although some Iraqi claims that the military feat was overstated, and the Pentagon could not confirm the deaths and said the ISIS leaders had not been targeted. Colonel Steve Warren, the Pentagon spokesperson said that the US airstrikes in Iraq have not targeted specific ISIS leaders but if the ISIS leaders were entrenched inside the troop formations that have been stricken, and then they will probably be killed.

The US airstrike that had killed ISIS leader aide was one amongst the over a hundred assaults against the ISIS insurgents since early August. The recent attack follows the ISIS' video broadcast presenting the second beheading of another withheld American journalist, Steven Sotloff.

The US has been implementing airstrikes across Iraq's north when the ruthless terror group expanded ground in a brutal sweep in June. The US and the West have increased their grandiloquence against the group after what Obama's challengers said was a sluggish start in expressing a crisis solution.

The News of the ostensibly triumphant airstrike that killed the ISIS senior members and the aide to its leader emanated as US President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron urged fellow NATO leaders and Mid-Eastern countries to castoff seclusion and create an alliance against the ferocious executioners of ISIS. President Obama and Prime Minister Cameron also pursued backing from non-NATO nations that partner with the coalition, such as Jordan.

The coalition against the ISIS insurgents might have just taken down one of the group's highest-level targets but it's hard to assess the significance of the ISIS leader aide's death. On the other hand, the ISIS operations are expansive and operationally devolved to the point where the deaths of the ISIS leader aides, who don't appear on the most unswerving administrative flow-charts, may have an insignificant impression on the combat zone.

The ISIS belligerence and violent assaults continue to pose a threat to the security of British and American people and the eclectic world. Experts are sanguine that the killing of their members including the aide to its leader might have a noteworthy effect on the group.
