Iraqi security forces on Saturday launched a military operation to pursue Daesh/ISIS militants in the northern Salahuddin province, according to a security officer.
The operation, in which the pro-government Hashd al-Shaabi militia is taking part, aims to hunt down Daesh/ISIS terrorists in the areas of the Makhoul Mountain, north of Salahuddin, the officer said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
He added that the military operation is meant to “prevent any attempts by Daesh/ISIS members to restore their activity in the Jubailah region.”
