Iraqi security forces in cooperation with Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) are sweeping villages and farmland north of Baghdad as part of an operation aimed at clearing remaining terrorists belonging to the Daesh “Islamic State” group from around the country’s capital.
A military helicopter flew over army units in the area as troops on the ground searched for weapon caches and bombs in farmland in Taramiyah on Tuesday. The area is about 50 kilometers, or 31 miles, north of Baghdad.
The dragnet is part of the operation dubbed “Will to Victory,” which started two weeks ago along the border with Syria and was extended last week to areas north of Baghdad and in the Diyala, Salahuddin, and Anbar provinces.
