History[edit]
Little is known about his life other then his military history.
He was a part of the Islamic State in Raqqa when the organisation still held that territory.[8] When he presumably rose the ranks, he was aggressively spreading ISIS networks outside of Iraq and Syria worldwide.[1][4][5]
Around 2020, al-Agal would be a member of Turkish-backed factions and would live in Afrin in northwestern Syria, where he would soon become a commander of a Syrian rebel group called Jaysh Al-Sharqiyyah.[8]
Death[edit]
At 12 July 2022, in Ghaltan village outside the town of Jindires, in northwest Syria, near the border of Hatay Province in Turkey, al-Agal was targeted by a US drone strike while riding his motorcycle,[9] along with an unidentified IS official who was his close affiliate.[3] The attack killed al-Agal and seriously injured the other IS official.[1] This attack took extensive planning for it to come out as an successful operation, without any civilian casualties.[10] The White House used al-Agal's death as an example that they don't need thousands of troops to get rid of threats in their country.[2]
