IS leader KIA (October 30, 2019)

US Delta Force Airborne Commando Raid on IS leader hideout and annihilation of IS bodyguards from the air, and obliteration of the target (which is 4 miles away from Turkish border but inside Syria, according to US Central Command, the general plan for the operation was a helicopter assault by Delta and the Rangers. They launched from two sites, Erbil, Iraq, and an undisclosed location in Syria. Gen. McKenzie added that “the plan was significantly more complex than that, and designed to avoid detection by ISIS) by mother of all bunker buster bombs in that clip. This shows US military is doing something exceptionally and at the same time giving some breather to dying Kurds in the face of Turkish onslaught
NOTE It is an Army Unit totally different from Navy Seals. Their firepower is legendary. They were the earliest special forces formations of US military. There are even speculations that if they were allowed to be stationed in Benghazi (they were in Tripoli at that time doing nothing) at the time of US Embassy siege, they could have save slain US Ambassader life and US flag

The Trump administration released video footage Wednesday of the raid that led to the death of former Daesh/ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
The black and white aerial footage depicts a group of militants who the operational commander of the raid said had opened fire on approaching American forces.
The Pentagon has assessed that the fighters were not affiliated with Baghdadi but "nonetheless demonstrated hostile intent against U.S. forces," Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie Jr. told reporters at the Pentagon, and were then killed by two airstrikes from supporting helicopters.
Video footage of the strikes shows multiple explosives going off near the group of militants as smoke fills the grainy footage.
Additional video depicts the U.S. special operations force of about 10 service members approaching the compound where al-Baghdadi was holed up.
McKenzie said that following the scene, those inside were repeatedly asked to come out, and after some did, they were detained and released following a weapons check. That group included 11 children, but five individuals refused to comply.
"Five ISIS members inside the compound presented a threat to the force. They did not respond to commands in Arabic to surrender, and they continued to threaten the force," McKenzie said. "They were then engaged by the raid force and killed."
He further clarified that the U.S. now assesses Baghdadi took two, not three, children with him as he attempted to flee from American forces. Those children were killed when Baghdadi detonated an explosive vest he was wearing, collapsing the tunnel around him and the children.
In all, six Daesh/ISIS members were killed in the raid, including four women, McKenzie said. The number includes Baghdadi, but not the children he killed when he detonated his vest.
Two other men were taken into U.S. custody.
Trump announced the late-night raid in northwestern Syria's Idlib province on Sunday.
