Inside US raid on IS chief in Atmeh: Quraishi blew up himself, family; 13 killed
When U.S. troops raided the hideout of IS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Quraishi, who took over as head of the terror group in 2019, the IS leader detonated a bomb and detonated himself. His body was thrown into the street outside. First responders reported that 13 people were killed, including six children and four women.
Preparations for the operation, described as “extremely complex”, began in early December. The killing of Kurahi could have been carried out last year, but Biden took the riskier route to minimize collateral damage, according to U.S. officials.
The helicopter operation has been rehearsed repeatedly, and the possibility of his suicide has been taken into account. Earlier this week, Biden was briefed on the final blueprint for the operation and approved it.
The explosion caused by the IS leader occurred on the third floor. The U.S. military said they evacuated six civilians, including four children, from the first floor.
Quraishi is known as “The Destroyer” for his brutal actions. Born into a Turkmen family, he is one of the few non-Arab leaders of the Islamic State. He served in Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi army.
Although the US military aimed at the building and the floor where he lived, he never came out of the third floor of the building, and the communication with the outside world was through messengers.
As the operation began, Biden said, “God bless our troops” and kept a close eye on real-time monitoring of the troops. A White House official said the operation began as Biden was finishing a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron on a different topic. At one point, the Pentagon said one of the helicopters involved in the raid had a mechanical problem and had to be destroyed rather than left behind.

Jennifer Lopez ‘let go of her’ high-heeled ego while working with Ben Affleck
As Jennifer Lopez navigates her separation from Ben Affleck, she prioritizes her career, notably in the film Unstoppable.
Jennifer Lopez has “let go of her ego” to prioritise her career and personal growth as she navigates her separation from Ben Affleck.
The 55-year-old actress and singer, during an interview with Amazon/MGM, opened up about working on the upcoming film Unstoppable, a project she co-starred in while estranged from her husband.
“It was an honour to be a part of Anthony [Robles] and to play Judy,” Jennifer shared. “I approached the role with a complete lack of ego where you have to go in there and have so much respect for the person you are playing because it’s her story.”
“I disappeared, there was no Jennifer, no J. Lo. That person on the screen is just Judy. Luckily, I got to spend time with her and see who she was alone and as a mother.”

Affleck praises Lopez’s ‘spectacular’ performance
Affleck and Matt Damon produced the film, which tells the inspiring story of 36-year-old wrestler Anthony Robles.
JLo portrays Judy Robles, Anthony’s mother. Affleck also highly praised Jennifer’s performance, calling her “spectacular.”
“Unstoppable is a very different movie than [Small Things Like These], but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” Ben told Entertainment Toninght just couple of weeks back. “Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel and Bobby Cannavale – all of whom were really passionate about this film.”
After reuniting and marrying in 2022, Jennifer filed for divorce in August 2024. Reports of marital struggles, including living separately, surfaced months before the filing.
“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” an insider told InTouch Weekly. “Ben already moved out … They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her.”

Jennifer told Interview Magazine, “I was thinking about this time in my life, and I’m like, ‘That’s not what I thought it was going to turn out like.’ And then I thought, ‘No, this is exactly where I needed to be.’”
