The ISF Sweeping Torrent operation led to the destruction of the IS HQ on the Tigris. In Kirkuk, however, one of the most important female terrorists commander was captured.
The maneuvers were born thanks to the discovery of documents on Kanous Island. Objective: to destroy the weapons depots and the IS movement capability towards Kirkuk.
One was in Zawiya (Salahuddin) and the other in Daquq (Kirkuk). IS stocks of C4 and IED were stored. Meanwhile, PKK attacks the Peshmerga in Kurdistan. There is a risk of escalation.
Several ISF targeted operations are underway to neutralize IS cells and facilitators. The latest is underway on Kanous Island near Mosul and with floating bridges.
They are in Erbil and Baghdad, and more will arrive soon. Objective: to create a large anti-IS defensive line between Diyala-Mosul and to be able to attack terrorists in their bases.
22 Islamic State militiamen captured only in July. The ISF are preparing for new raids, based on some lessons learned, while attacking Daesh also in Kirkuk.
Eight Islamic State jihadists arrested in Mosul and one leader in Haditha. Meanwhile, Baghdad strengthens security on the borders with Syria, especially in Qaim, to prevent Daesh infiltrations.
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.
