Activists Reveal Identity Of Terrorist Killed In Afrin Drone Strike
On May 23, Syrian activists revealed the identity of ISIS commander killed in the recent drone strike on the Turkish-occupied area of Afrin in northern Syria.
According to several activists, the terrorist was Abu Zaki al-Taibani. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) and several journalists previously revealed that the terrorist was the military commander of ISIS’ “Hama Wilayat.”
The activists shared a photo of the ID the terrorist used in Afrin. The ID carried the name of Abdulrezzak Elfaris. It was supposedly issued by the so-called Local Council in the town of Bulbul, a Turkish-affiliated body.
Al-Taibani was active in Greater Idlib. He reportedly took part in the execution of several militants of al-Qaeda-affiliated Haya’t Tarhrir al-Sham (HTS) more than a year ago.

Opposition sources believe that the U.S, which carried out similar strikes in the past, was behind the drone strike which claimed the life of al-Taibani. This is yet to be confirmed.
