The Iraqi Air Force managed to kill a leader of the so-called Jund al-Khilafah, a terrorist known as Abu Tariq al Hayali, in an airstrike on ISIS headquarters in the center of Mosul, according to Iraqi media.

The leader of Jund al-Khilafah, also known as Soldiers of the Caliphate, which has pledged loyalty to Daesh, has been killed in a strike by the Iraqi Air Force in Mosul, local media reported Tuesday, citing its source.
