United States President Joe Biden said the leader of Daesh (ISIL or ISIS) has been “taken off the battlefield” following a raid in Syria that also killed six children and four women.

A senior US administration official told reporters ISIL leader Abu Ibrahim Al-Hashimi Al-Qurayshi was killed in the raid. The official added he blown himself up, Al-Jazeera reported.

Biden said he would address nation about the the operation at 9:30 AM ET (1430GMT) on Thursday.

“Last night at my direction, US military forces in the Northwest Syria successfully undertook a counterterrorism operation to protect the American people and our Allies, and make the world a safer place,” Biden announced in the statement.

“Thanks to the skill and bravery of our Armed Forces, we have taken off the battlefield Abu Ibrahim Al-Hashimi Al-Qurayshi—the leader of ISIS,” Biden added.

ISIS named Al-Qurayshi as its head in 2019 after confirming the death of former leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi.
