Hasib took over as leader of ISIS-K, an ISIS affiliate in Afghanistan, last year after predecessor Hafiz Saeed Khan was killed by a US drone strike.
General John Nicholson said: 'This successful joint operation is another important step in our relentless campaign to defeat ISIS-K in 2017.
'This is the second ISIS-K emir we have killed in nine months, along with dozens of their leaders and hundreds of their fighters.

'For more than two years, ISIS-K has waged a barbaric campaign of death, torture and violence against the Afghan people, especially those in southern Nangarhar.'
Hasib was responsible for directing the Kabul National Military Hospital on March 8 which killed more than 100 Afghan civilians, the statement said.
He was also responsible for beheading tribal elders in front of their families and kidnapping women and girls before forcing them to marry his fighters,
General Nicholson added: 'I applaud the tremendous skill and courage shown by our Afghan partners.
'This fight strengthens our resolve to rid Afghanistan of these terrorists and bring peace and stability to this great country.
'Any ISIS member that comes to Afghanistan will meet the same fate.'
The compound is located close to where the 'Mother Of All Bombs' was dropped on an ISIS tunnel network on April 13.

U.S. Is Killing Islamic State's Online Operatives One by One - W.J. Hennigan (Los Angeles Times)
French-born Rachid Kassim, 29, a former rapper, once beheaded a man in an online video and played a role in a string of terrorist plots in France last year. On Feb. 8, a drone-launched missile destroyed his truck as he drove through the Iraqi city of Mosul.
The strike was part of a U.S.-led effort that seeks to silence Islamic State operatives who use social media and encrypted messaging to reach disaffected Muslims overseas.
On Aug. 30, a drone strike killed Abu Muhammad Adnani, head of ISIS external terrorism plots.
Eight days later, Abu Mohamed Furqan, who oversaw production of propaganda videos and created the monthly online magazine Rumiyah, was killed by a drone strike in Raqqa, Syria.

New Israeli Drone Can Locate People - Yuval Azulai (Globes)
The Condor, developed by defense companies BLER and Istar, is a drone that can operate in extreme weather conditions, cover an area of 5-8 kilometers, and provide information about the precise location of lost hikers or wanted terrorists, even if they are hiding inside buildings or tunnels.
"We recently completed a number of tests of the new drone in several countries, including Peru, where a local rescue company used the Condor to locate and rescue a missing hiker," says BLER cofounder Uri Boros.
