US kills senior military leader of Al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria
Fox News ^ | 3/01/25 | Rachel Wolf

A senior military leader of the terrorist organization Hurras al-Din, an Al-Qaeda affiliate, was killed in a precision airstrike in Syria carried out by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces, according to a press release.

Muhammed Yusuf Ziya Talay was killed in an airstrike that CENTCOM says is part of its efforts to "disrupt and degrade" terrorists’ plans to harm civilians or military personnel from the U.S. and its allies.

"As we have said in the past, we will continue to pursue relentlessly these terrorists in order to defend our homeland, and U.S., allied, and partner personnel in the region," Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, commander, U.S. Central Command, said in a press release.

This announcement comes just after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed a CBS News report that President Donald Trump had eased restrictions on American commanders authorizing airstrikes and raids. Hegseth tweeted out a link to the report on Friday morning with the caption, "Correct."

Aftermath looked like a small Rod from God right at the Driver’s position.

I’m curious as to the projectile.

This terrorism will continue as long as the Saudis are not held accountable for 9/11.

I’ll go with the Flying Ginsu. No explosives, leaves hamburger, ready to form and fry up some burgers.

Stupid Curiosity (I got lots) - The M829 M1 tank sabot round has a depleted uranium rod.

We get the intelligence from the Mossad and then flip coins over who does what. Nice arrangement.
