Objective of the ISF: to dismantle the Islamic State sleeper cells and support networks in the area. The US, after the Daesh attack on Ain al-Assad base, send reinforcements to the country.
The man, Abu Khaldun, was hiding in Hawija under the name of Sha’alan Obeid. He was one of the leaders of the Islamic State in Kirkuk. Meanwhile, PMF attack Daesh in Diyala and Nineveh.
The Islamic State responds to the ISF-Inherent Resolve maxi-operation, but its attack capacity has decreased. Meanwhile, anti-Daesh maneuvers continue in Kirkuk and Salahuddin.
Last raid took place at Lake Hamrin: 4,000 pounds of bombs dropped on a compound of the Islamic State. In recent days the head of Daesh logistics in Anbar had been captured.
Several operations are underway against the Islamic State from Kirkuk to Hamrin, passing through Mosul and Anbar. Some Daesh commanders were arrested, others died.
Maneuvers at Nineveh, Diyala, Kirkuk and Erbil. Objective: to eliminate the Islamic State cells hiding in the mountains. Kurds close Daesh from the north and ISF-Inherent Resolve from south.
SDF, despite the Turkish offensive, once again begin to hunt down the Islamic State cells. The ISF, on the other hand, protect demonstrations against Daesh attacks and borders against infiltration.
ISF responds to Islamic State recent attacks, including against the US embassy in Baghdad. Meanwhile, the sixth phase of anti-Daesh maneuvers, Victory Will, is being prepared.
Maneuvers anticipated by a maxi strike of Inherent Resolve, which dropped 80,000 lbs. of bombs on Daesh positions. The ISF also target the islands near Hamam al-Alil.
The goal is to neutralize a large Daesh resistance pocket, which the Operation Victory Will forced to rally to Lake Tharthar, cleaning up the Anbar boundaries with Syria.
