Senior US government officials said the attack was conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and was the first time the US made air strikes in Afghanistan since withdrawing all its forces from the country in August.

The air strike takes place in the morning of July 31, when the US drone (UAV) launched two Hellfire missiles while Al-zawahiri walked to the safe house balcony in Kabul, Afghistan, where he lived.

After the missile fired, the loud bang rang from the Shirpur area in the center of Kabul.

The US intelligence community traced the Al-zawahiri to this house, then spent months confirming his identity and law of activities, including monitoring the travel and activities of the tycoon.

By the beginning of April, US intelligence reported to national security officials that al-zawahiri lived in this area and never left the hiding place.

CIA staff have built a house model to present to President Biden about the attack plan, helping to minimize casualties for people inside and civilians around them.

On July 1, Mr. Biden participated in a meeting at the White House with many leading government officials, including CIA Director William Burns, National Intelligence Director Avril Haines, Director of the National Center for terrorist anti -terrorism

The next meeting between the White House owner and the advisers took place on July 25, in which President Biden urged US intelligence agencies to develop an attack plan to minimize common casualties.
