TV report: Israel aided in US effort to track down Islamic State chief
Channel 13 cites unnamed foreign sources as saying Israel “was involved and aided” in the US efforts to track down Islamic State chief Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi.
The network says that “it can be assessed, according to security sources, that Israel assisted in the intel tracking” of Qurayshi “and helped, utilizing its sources in Syria, to create that intelligence window” that allowed the US to act.
