ISIS announced in an undated recording on Telegram the death of its leader, Abu Al-Hussein Al-Husseini Al-Qurashi, during clashes in Idlib, in northwestern Syria. 

The leader was reportedly killed in clashes with HTS, an Al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group based in Idlib. 

The spokesperson added that Abu Hafs Al-Hashimi Al-Quraishi would be succeeding the slain leader as the new ISIS chief. 

Abu Hafs is the group's fifth leader. 

In October 2022, ISIS said its previous leader, Abu Al-Hasan Al-Hashimi Al-Qurashi, had been killed.

His predecessor Abu Ibrahim Al-Qurashi was killed in February last year.

Last week, ISIS claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack that targeted a hotspot for Muslims who visit Syria's Sayyidah Zeinab to perform religious pilgrimages, commemorating the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Mohammad.

The announcement came in a statement broadcast by the terrorist organization on Telegram.

The explosion claimed the lives of six martyrs and injured around 23 others as a result of a blast from an explosive-laden motorcycle.

The group also claimed responsibility for another attack in the same area earlier this week, which resulted in the injury of two individuals.
