FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SOUTHWEST ASIA — Coalition airstrikes have removed senior ISIS military officials and planners from the battlefield.
The elimination of three senior foreign fighters represents a significant degradation of the ISIS planning and operational capability.
Mustafa Gunes, a Syria-based ISIS external operations facilitator from Turkey, was killed by a coalition airstrike near Mayadin, Syria, 27 April. He was identified as an ISIS recruiter in the central Turkish city of Konya. Gunes was linked to facilitating financial support for planning attacks outside Syria and Iraq against the West.
