ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — The US led coalition carried out airstrikes on ISIS positions in Tal Afar on Saturday, reportedly killing the ISIS governor of the Jazira region bridging northern Syria and Iraq.

Issa Zewai, the commander of the 4th Peshmerga Brigade on the Shingal front, told Rudaw that “lately the US coalition war planes have intensified their attacks on ISIS military bases and positions, destroying ISIS vehicles and targeting a strategic line where ISIS attacks Peshmerga by directing mortar shells.”

Zewai added that during the coalition airstrikes many ISIS fighters were reportedly killed, including Hazm Klash, the Jazira governor.
