One of the biggest accomplishments of President Donald Trump's first term was the rapid and near-complete annihilation of the Islamic State group that carved out a so-called "caliphate" from portions of Iraq and Syria -- though the jihadist organization somewhat reconstituted itself during the Biden-Harris administration.

On Friday, Trump confirmed that the "miserable life" of a top leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria was "terminated" by the U.S. with assistance from allied Iraqi and Kurdish forces, Fox News reported.

Abdallah Maki Mosleh al-Rifai, also known as Abu Khadija, was reportedly taken out by a precision airstrike this week, and his remains were identified by a DNA sample that had been obtained during a previous unsuccessful raid to capture or kill him.

ISIS leader's "miserable life was terminated" by an airstrike

In a Friday night Truth Social post, President Trump declared, "Today the fugitive leader of ISIS in Iraq was killed. He was relentlessly hunted down by our intrepid warfighters."

"His miserable life was terminated, along with another member of ISIS, in coordination with the Iraqi Government and the Kurdish Regional Government. PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!" he added.

According to Fox News, the successful airstrike to kill al-Rifai was first announced by Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, who described the dead jihadist leader as "one of the most dangerous terrorists in Iraq and the world."

He further revealed that members of Iraq's national intelligence service had participated in the operation along with other U.S.-led coalition forces who aimed to prevent the Islamic State from reestablishing any sort of substantial foothold in the region from which to plot and launch more terror attacks.

How it all went down

The news was also shared in a Friday press release from the Tampa, Florida-based U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, which is in charge of the U.S.-led coalition of allied forces in Iraq and Syria.

"On March 13, U.S. Central Command forces, in cooperation with Iraqi Intelligence and Security Forces, conducted a precision airstrike in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, that killed the Global ISIS #2 leader, chief of operations and the Delegated Committee Emir -- Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai, alias 'Abu Khadijah,' and one other ISIS operative."

Given his leadership role with the Islamic State group's top committee, al-Rifai "maintained responsibility for operations, logistics, and planning conducted by ISIS globally, and directs a significant portion of finance for the group’s global organization."

The release further noted that following the airstrike, U.S. and Iraqi forces quickly moved to the site and found the bodies of two jihadists who'd been in possession of "multiple weapons" and were wearing undetonated "suicide vests." One of the deceased bodies was identified as that of al-Rifai by way of DNA that had been "collected on a previous raid where Abu Khadijah narrowly escaped."

CENTCOM will "continue to kill terrorists and dismantle their organizations"

In a statement that accompanied the press release, CENTCOM Commander Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla said, "Abu Khadijah was one of the most important ISIS members in the entire global ISIS organization."

"We will continue to kill terrorists and dismantle their organizations that threaten our homeland and U.S., allied, and partner personnel in the region and beyond," the general added.

Rest assured that, should CENTCOM take out the next jihadist to be elevated to the unlucky position of leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, President Trump will almost certainly mark that momentous occasion with another trolling social media post or two.
