The death of two Australian jihadists is a warning to others seeking to travel to no-go areas of the Middle East they can expect to be targeted and killed, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has told parliament.

Separate US air strikes in Iraq and Syria have killed Neil Prakash, the most senior Australian in Daesh, and Shadi Jabar, the sister of Parramatta shooter Farhad Jabar.

"This should serve as a reminder to any Australians who seek to go to or are in the conflict zone that they are targets and they should expect to be killed as we continue our campaign to eliminate this terrorist group," Mr Turnbull said on Thursday.
