There was no immediate comment from the United States-led coalition against Islamic State. The post said the strike killed Rayan Meshaal and his daughter in their home in the city of al-Mayadin. Islamic State often claims responsibility for attacks worldwide through Amaq channels on social media. Rita Katz, director of the the US-based SITE monitoring service, said on Twitter that a coalition strike allegedly killed Meshaal in Deir al-Zor. Islamic State is losing ground in both Syria and Iraq under assault from an array of sometimes rival forces in both countries.
