The Iraqi army destroyed a hideout belonging to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist organization with two airstrikes in the depths of Anbar province in western Iraq.
A statement from the Joint Operations Command stated that, as a result of military intelligence surveillance and planning by the command's targeting cell, a hideout belonging to the organization was identified in a remote area of the Anbar desert, and two airstrikes were carried out against this target.
The statement indicated that a joint force composed of the Fifth Division and support units was dispatched to the area to control the targeted zone.
It was emphasized that security forces will continue to pursue the organization's elements and clear out their dens.
Although the Iraqi government declared victory over ISIS in 2017, it is known that the organization continues its activities with sporadic attacks in some northern, western, and eastern provinces. Iraqi authorities are conducting regular security and military operations to completely neutralize the remnants of the organization.
