Abu-Bilal al-Minuki tops news as Trump hails him as “the world’s most active terrorist” after a claimed Nigerian mission; background sparse, alleged ISIS figure.
Israeli strikes in Gaza City have targeted Hamas' military wing commander Izz al-Din al-Haddad, with officials saying he is the group’s top military leader in Gaza. While some reports confirm the strike, Hamas has not publicly acknowledged Haddad’s death. The broader Gaza conflict and fragile ceasefire talks persist amid continuing casualties.
The New York Times, Al Jazeera and The Guardian report that Donald Trump has announced a joint US-Nigerian operation has killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, described as a top ISIS leader. The White House-linked posts credit Nigerian forces and American support, while Nigeria confirms involvement and states the compound was near Lake Chad. The US has previously deployed troops to Nigeria for training and support, with no combat role stated by Abuja.
