The suspected leader of ISIS has been killed in Syria in an operation carried out by Turkey's MIT intelligence agency, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday.
"The suspected leader of Daesh, codename Abu Hussein Al Qurashi, has been neutralised in an operation carried out yesterday by the MIT in Syria," Mr Erdogan told TRT Turk broadcaster.
He said the MIT had been following Al Qurashi for a long time.
ISIS announced the death of its previous leader, Abu Hasan Al Hashimi Al Qurashi, on November 30, replacing him with Abu Hussein Al Qurashi.
Turkish intelligence agents and local military police, backed by Turkey, on Saturday sealed off a zone in Jindires, in the north-west region of Afrin, AFP reported.
Residents told AFP that an operation focused on an abandoned farm that was being used as an Islamic school.
Turkey has had troops in northern Syria since 2020, and controls entire zones with the help of Syrian auxiliaries.
The US carried out a helicopter raid in northern Syria in an operation in mid-April, saying ISIS had been planning attacks in Europe and the Middle East.
US Central Command said they had killed a senior leader of ISIS in the operation. They identified him as Abd-al Hadi Mahmud Al Haji Ali.
Suspected ISIS fighters killed at least 41 people, 24 of them civilians, on April 16 in Syria.
In the first week of April, the US said they had killed an ISIS leader responsible for planning attacks in Europe, identifying him as Khalid Aydd Ahmad Al Jabouri.
When it was at the height of its power, controlling large areas of Iraq and Syria, ISIS claimed responsibility for a series of attacks in Europe.
In October 2019, Washington announced it had killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi in an operation in north-western Syria.
Despite having been driven out of much of the territory it once controlled, ISIS still launches attacks in Syria.

Day 4, Abu Dhabi Test: At a glance
Moment of the day Not much was expected – on Sunday or ever – of Hasan Ali as a batsman. And yet he lit up the late overs of the Pakistan innings with a happy cameo of 29 from 25 balls. The highlight was when he launched a six right on top of the netting above the Pakistan players’ viewing area. He was out next ball.
Stat of the day – 1,358 There were 1,358 days between Haris Sohail’s previous first-class match and his Test debut for Pakistan. The lack of practice in the multi-day format did not show, though, as the left-hander made an assured half-century to guide his side through a potentially damaging collapse.
The verdict As is the fashion of Test matches in this country, the draw feels like a dead-cert, before a clatter of wickets on the fourth afternoon puts either side on red alert. With Yasir Shah finding prodigious turn now, Pakistan will be confident of bowling Sri Lanka out. Whether they have enough time to do so and chase the runs required remains to be seen.

Can NRIs vote in the election?
Indians residing overseas cannot cast their ballot abroad
Non-resident Indians or NRIs can vote only by going to a polling booth in their home constituency
There are about 3.1 million NRIs living overseas
Indians have urged political parties to extend the right to vote to citizens residing overseas
A committee of the Election Commission of India approved of proxy voting for non-resident Indians
Proxy voting means that a person can authorise someone residing in the same polling booth area to cast a vote on his behalf.
This option is currently available for the armed forces, police and government officials posted outside India
A bill was passed in the lower house of India’s parliament or the Lok Sabha to extend proxy voting to non-resident Indians
However, this did not come before the upper house or Rajya Sabha and has lapsed
The issue of NRI voting draws a huge amount of interest in India and overseas
Over the past few months, Indians have received messages on mobile phones and on social media claiming that NRIs can cast their votes online
The Election Commission of India then clarified that NRIs could not vote online
The Election Commission lodged a complaint with the Delhi Police asking it to clamp down on the people spreading misinformation
