Iran Press/ Middle East: Ahmad Jassim al-Amerli, the commander of the 52nd Division of the Iraqi Popular Organization Unit, announced that four hideouts of ISIS terrorists were discovered and destroyed during the second day of a joint operation by the organization and Iraqi forces in the eastern province of Salah al-Din.
Popular Mobilization Forces and the Iraqi army launched an operation to establish security in the northern Iraqi provinces of Kirkuk and Salah al-Din on Tuesday.
This operation will continue for 10 days.
Despite the defeat of the ISIS terrorist group in Iraq, a number of members of this terrorist group are still present in different parts of the country and carry out terrorist acts in a scattered manner.
In 2014, the ISIS terrorist group, with the financial and military support of the United States and its Western and Arab allies, including Saudi Arabia, invaded Iraq, occupying large parts of the northern and western parts of the country and committing countless crimes. Iraq subsequently called on Iran to help Baghdad fight these terrorists.
On November 17, 2017, Iraqi forces, with the advisory assistance of the Islamic Republic of Iran, succeeded in liberating the city of Rawa in Anbar province western Iraq, the last ISIS base in Iraq. With the liberation of this city, ISIS was destroyed. 219
