Iraq\u2019s Joint Operations Command announced on Sunday the successful execution of two airstrikes targeting an ISIS hideout in Anbar province, as part of ongoing operations to eliminate remaining militant cells.<\/p>\n
In a separate development, the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) confirmed the arrest of a terrorism suspect in Salahuddin province, highlighting continued security efforts across multiple regions.<\/p>\n
According to a statement carried by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), the Joint Operations Command said the strikes were carried out at 02:00 and 02:20 local time, targeting an ISIS gathering site in remote desert areas of Anbar.<\/p>\n
The operation was conducted based on field intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Directorate and under the supervision of the Joint Operations targeting cell.<\/p>\n
The statement described the strikes as \u201csuccessful,\u201d noting that the targeted site was located deep within desert terrain.<\/p>\n
Following the airstrikes, a joint force from the Iraqi Army\u2019s Fifth Division, supported by additional units, was dispatched to inspect the targeted location.<\/p>\n
This step aims to verify the results of the strikes and secure the area against any remaining threats.<\/p>\n
The Joint Operations Command reaffirmed that Iraqi security forces remain committed to pursuing what remains of ISIS fighters across the country.<\/p>\n
It stated that operations will continue to \u201cstrike their hideouts and cleanse Iraqi land from terrorism,\u201d emphasizing that security forces are determined to prevent any resurgence of the group.<\/p>\n
In a separate statement, the Popular Mobilization Forces announced the arrest of a suspected terrorist east of Salahuddin province.<\/p>\n
The PMF said that a unit from the 22nd Brigade, under the North and East Tigris Operations Command, carried out the arrest based on precise intelligence information.<\/p>\n
The suspect, identified by initials (A.R.R.), is wanted under Article 4 of Iraq\u2019s anti-terrorism law. He has been handed over to the relevant authorities for legal procedures.<\/p>\n
The two operations reflect continued Iraqi efforts to combat ISIS through a combination of:<\/p>\n
– Targeted airstrikes in remote desert areas<\/p>\n
– Intelligence-driven ground operations<\/p>\n
– Arrests of suspected militants<\/p>\n
These measures are part of a broader strategy aimed at maintaining stability and preventing ISIS from reorganizing.<\/p>\n
The airstrikes in Anbar and the arrest in Salahuddin underscore Iraq\u2019s ongoing campaign against ISIS remnants. Through coordinated intelligence and military action, Iraqi forces continue to pursue militant elements and reinforce national security across key regions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
