Abu Jandal al-Masri (Arabic: أبو جندل المصري) is an Egyptian who served as a senior official in Daesh.[1] It was reported on January 23, 2017, that he was appointed to replace Abu Ahmed al-Souri as the group's Chief of Information.
According to the American Enterprise Institute he was a competent military commander, prior to serving as Chief of Information.[2]
The Middle East Forum described him as a leader in the capture of the Mannagh Airbase.[3] They quoted a speech he gave, where he allegedly swore that Mujahideen fighters would "not leave a single Alawite alive in Syria."
