Estados Unidos eliminó a un alto mando de ISIS en Siria

Un nuevo capítulo en la larga campaña contra el Estado Islámico (ISIS, por sus siglas en inglés) se abrió el pasado martes 19 de agosto, cuando las fuerzas del Comando Central de Estados Unidos (CENTCOM) llevaron a cabo una operación terrestre en el norte de Siria, que culminó con la muerte de un alto mando del grupo yihadista.
Según un comunicado oficial del CENTCOM publicado el 21 de agosto desde Tampa, Florida, “las fuerzas del Comando Central de Estados Unidos condujeron con éxito una incursión en el norte de Siria el 19 de agosto, matando a un miembro senior de ISIS y financiero clave que planificaba atentados en Siria e Irak”.
El comandante del CENTCOM, almirante Brad Cooper, afirmó: “Continuaremos persiguiendo a los terroristas de ISIS con una determinación inquebrantable en toda la región. Junto con nuestros socios y aliados, el Comando Central se mantiene firme en nuestro compromiso de garantizar la derrota duradera de ISIS y la protección del territorio de Estados Unidos”.
Aunque el nombre del líder fue omitido en los comunicados, medios como Fox News informaron que el individuo había sido considerado un posible sucesor del “Emir de ISIS en Siria”. No se reportaron bajas civiles ni entre las fuerzas aliadas.
Esta operación se inscribe en el esfuerzo continuo por neutralizar el resurgimiento de ISIS, a pesar de haber perdido su último bastión territorial en 2019. Desde entonces, el grupo se ha transformado en una amenaza difusa, operando a través de células radicalizadas, atentados aislados y redes de financiación clandestinas en zonas remotas como el desierto sirio y las montañas iraquíes.

Según el Institute for the Study of War, la operación ocurrió justamente en la localidad de Atimah, en la provincia de Idlib, cerca de la frontera con Turquía, una zona que ha sido escenario de incursiones y tensiones desde 2025.
El trasfondo es complejo. En julio, otra operación similar en Al-Bab, Alepo, ya había neutralizado a un líder local de ISIS, demostrando que, aunque el grupo no retiene territorio, conserva la capacidad de ejecutar ataques selectivos.
Además, en mayo de 2025, el grupo realizó atentados con coches bomba en el sur de Siria, como en Tulul al‑Safa, dirigido al nuevo gobierno sirio. Se sospecha que estos ataques formaban parte de una campaña para retomar visibilidad y restablecer sus redes.
El contexto humanitario también alimenta la amenaza. Un informe de junio por parte del Congreso de EEUU resaltó que unos 2.000 combatientes de ISIS siguen activos en Siria e Irak, otros 8.000 están detenidos en instalaciones kurdas y 20.000 en cárceles iraquíes. Además, unos 34.000 desplazados internamente —muchos en condiciones frágiles— podrían ser objeto de reclutamiento.
Frente a ese escenario, el enfoque declarado por el CENTCOM y los países aliados combina disuasión —a través de operativos como este— y la estabilización local mediante repatriación, desradicalización y fortalecimiento de las fuerzas de seguridad locales.
El derribo del líder financiero puede ser significativo. El financiamiento ha sido siempre vital para ISIS, permitiéndole reclutar, pagar atentados e influir localmente. Interrumpir esas finanzas perjudica su estructura operativa, aunque el vacío podría ser rápidamente cubierto por redes persistentes.
Sin embargo, operar en zonas fragmentadas como Idlib o Al-Bab no está exento de riesgos. La presencia de fuerzas turcas, las milicias sirias, los kurdos y los propios servicios de inteligencia árabes convierte esas áreas en puntos de confluencia de intereses contrapuestos, donde cada movimiento geopolítico puede alterar el equilibrio.
La operación muestra que, pese a los golpes recibidos en los últimos años, el grupo conserva capacidad para reorganizarse y proyectar ataques, obligando a Estados Unidos y a sus aliados a mantener la presión constante en la región

Trump rips trial judge whose $500M penalty was erased on appeal

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Fresh off a major appellate win, President Donald Trump on Sunday tore into New York Judge Arthur Engoron, who oversaw his state civil fraud trial, calling him «incompetent,» «crooked» and nearly as «corrupt» as New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Trump’s barbs followed an appellate ruling that erased a $500 million penalty in James’ high-profile civil fraud case, handing Trump one of his biggest legal wins yet.
«The Appellate Court removed incompetent Judge Engoron, but he refused to go, or even to acknowledge them,» Trump wrote on Truth Social. «He’s a highly overturned, CROOKED Judge, who is retiring into a life of lawsuits, along with his Chief Clerk, soon! He is almost as Corrupt as Leticia James, but not quite!»
Engoron presided over the non-jury trial, and Trump allies accused him of bias against the president-elect, his family and his company. Trump was accused of inflating the value of his assets to get more favorable terms from a lender his real estate business worked with.

The New York Appellate Division tossed the penalty, ruling the fine was excessive and violated the Eighth Amendment.
The five-member panel upheld findings that Trump and his company were liable, affirming James acted within her authority and that injunctive relief against the Trump Organization was appropriate.
The ruling left liability intact but wiped out the $364 million penalty plus interest, which totaled about $500 million.

Justice David Friedman dissented in part, arguing James’ true aim was political, and the case should be dismissed. He wrote her «ultimate goal was not market hygiene … but political hygiene, ending with the derailment of President Trump’s political career and the destruction of his real estate business.»
Friedman blasted James’ use of Section 63(12) of New York’s Executive Law, which gives the attorney general broad civil fraud powers.
He called the use unprecedented and political, giving James «essentially limitless power to prosecute her political enemies.»

Friedman said Trump’s business deals involved sophisticated parties who profited without harming the public and concluded he would «reverse the judgment and dismiss the complaint.»
With judges split on liability, the case is likely headed to New York’s highest court, the Court of Appeals. James said she will appeal.
James, a Democrat elected in 2018, has long targeted Trump. On the campaign trail, she called him an «illegitimate president» and vowed to «use every area of the law» to investigate him and his businesses.

Since Trump returned to office, the Justice Department has opened investigations tied to the case brought against Trump and also over allegations she committed mortgage fraud herself.
James alleges Trump is using the federal government to target her politically. DOJ is also investigating her for alleged mortgage fraud, including misrepresenting her primary residence on loans in Virginia and New York. She denies the claims and calls the probe a «revenge tour» for the civil fraud suit.
