U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to deliver remarks on Thursday about a counter-terrorism operation where the U.S. military in northwest Syria targeted the leader of ISIS.

U.S. Special Operations forces successfully carried out a raid in northwest Syria on Thursday, the Pentagon said, adding there were no U.S. casualties but gave no further details.

Residents of the northwest Syrian town of Atmeh and rebels fighting the Syrian government earlier reported several civilian casualties in the two-hour operation, saying the raid was believed to have targeted a suspected al-Qaeda-affiliated jihadist.

One resident said several people were killed in the raid, while another said rescuers pulled out at least 12 bodies from the rubble of a multi-storey building, including children and women.
