U.S. troops killed a suspected senior member of the Islamic State group, or ISIS, during an Aug. 19 raid in northern Syria, defense officials have announced.

U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, confirmed the operation on Thursday after media outlets reported about the raid earlier in the week.

CENTCOM did not name the suspected ISIS official, who was described as “key financier who planned attacks in Syria and Iraq.”
