1) #ISIS official who led oil/gas ops & finances of sleeper cells was k'd last week in joint U.S.-SDF op in #Deirezzor #Syria. U.S. spox said death stifles ISIS’ ability to finance activity along the Syria-Iraq border. Comes shortly after capture of "large" ISIS mufti in Mosul.
2)The slain official, Abu al-Ward al-Iraqi, was among last fighters trapped in Battle of Baghuz, before escaping & disguising himself. Abu Yousef Al-Iraqi & Abu Yasin al-Shami listed as possible successors, as per reports citing individuals familiar w/ ISIS movement in the region
3)Large-scale ops by joint U.S.-SDF forces resumed in late Nov., despite President Trump’s withdrawal that initially saw a complete halt of counter-terror ops in N.E. Syria. Separate U.S. forces were moved to Syria from Iraq & Kuwait, for now mending alliance w/ Kurd partners
