Iraqi PMF destroy 10 ISIS hide-outs, bases in Iraq

Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), also known as Hashed al-Sha’abi forces destroyed 10 ISIS hideouts and bases in Diyala Governorate, eastern Iraq.

Hashed al-Sha’abi forces, backed by the Iraqi Air Force, destroyed ISIS bases in Diyala, east of Iraq, said the Head of the security committee at Diyala governor-general’s office Sadeq al-Hosseini.

Hashed al-Sha’abi forces managed to destroy more than seven ISIS bases in the areas between northern Miqdadiyah and Lake Hamrin in the 4th phase of the “Heroes of Iraq” operation, he added.

al-Hosseini said that the PMF also successfully destroyed three ISIS hide-outs which were used for supplying explosives equipment and foodstuff.

In recent months, Hashed al-Sha’abi forces are continuing their operations against the remaining elements of the ISIS terrorist organization in various parts of Iraq. Various areas of some Iraqi provinces have been the site of ISIS hide-outs, and PMF has carried out dozens of operations in the provinces.

Hashed al-Sha’abi forces have launched a series of operations against ISIS members in Al Anbar, Nineveh, Saladin governorates since the middle of last month.
