Following US-Israeli attacks on Iran on 28 February, the Iran-backed group Hezbollah fired rockets into northern Israel on 2 March.Israel's bombing campaign and ground invasion of Lebanon's south displaced about 1.2 million people, before US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire last month following initial talks between the two countries' ambassadors in the US.On Friday, Trump said Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group globally, was killed in an operation conducted by US and Nigerian forces.It was a strike that Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu described as "a significant example of effective collaboration in the fight against terrorism.""Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS globally, thought he could hide in Africa, but little did he know we had sources who kept us informed on what he was doing," Trump said on Truth Social, without disclosing the exact location of the operation.In a statement posted on X, Tinubu said early assessments confirmed the elimination of al-Minuki — also known as Abu-Mainok — along with several of his lieutenants, during a strike on his compound in the Lake Chad Basin.Tinubu said Nigerian forces worked closely with their US counterparts in what he called a daring joint operation that dealt a heavy blow to the ranks of the Islamic State.Al-Minuki, a Nigerian national, was designated a "specially designated global terrorist" by the Biden administration in 2023, according to the US federal register
