Hashd Al-Shaabi militias rejected another offensive by the Islamic State in the Al-Khatheer desert. Daesh tries to open corridors from Syria to move the militiamen to the north-east.
Objective: to neutralize the large cell of the Islamic State, which attacked the PMU en masse. Meanwhile, surveillance on the borders with Syria is strengthened to prevent Daesh infiltrations.
Some elements suggest that the Islamic State is trying to feed the tensions between demonstrators and ISF. This, to ease the chaos and to ease the pressure on Daesh groups.
Objective: to neutralize the Islamic State cells that terrorize the region. Meanwhile, in Qaim and along the border, attempts are being made to block the flow of Daesh jihadists from Syria.
Sinjar is above all involved. Islamic State militia fled the SDF camps in the neighboring country, where the pressure is greater. It is no coincidence that Daesh attacks at checkpoints increase.
ISF dismantle a cell of the Islamic State, which operated in Mosul, insinuating inside. This will increase the climate of mistrust within Daesh and reduce its operational capacity.
ISF capture other Islamic State leaders in Fallujah and Khalidiyah. Objective: to reduce Daesh's ability, especially in the short term, to target demonstrations and fuel escalation.
SDF in Deir Ezzor kill one of the heads of the Islamic State of arms trafficking and financing for jihadists. ISF in Mosul arrest a Daesh cell that was extorting the population.
Attacks by the Islamic State against the ISF in the province and other areas up to Syria are increasing. Daesh tries to raise his head, hoping that Inherent Resolve will leave the country.
The man was arrested by the ISF in Nineveh. He was in charge of the Islamic State's drug supplies and stores. Daesh, meanwhile, tries to open a safe escape corridor from Syria.
