Iraqi Air Force Eliminated Lebanese ISIS Cell Responsible For Recent Deadly Attack In Diyala (Video)

On January 29, the Iraqi Security Media Cell announced that the terrorist cell responsible for the January 21 Diyala attack, which claimed the lives of 11 Iraqi service members, had been eliminated.

The attack, that was claimed by ISIS, targeted a position of the Iraqi military’s 1st Division to the west of the district of Hawi al-‘Azim. The terrorists stormed the position taking advantage of a harsh snow storm that was affecting all of Diyala.

“The heroes in the National Security Service were able, with continuous efforts, to determine the exact location of the terrorist cell, which carried out the criminal act in Hawi al-‘Azim, within the Diyala Operations Command … The Joint Targeting Cell in the Joint Operations Command and the Air Force Command began planning and tracked [the terrorists] for several hours, [then] they punished them with three pinpoint airstrikes which were carried out by Iraqi F-16 aircraft,” the Security Media Cell said in a statement.

The Iraqi Air Force pinpoint airstrikes claimed the lives of nine ISIS terrorists, six of them were reportedly Lebanese citizens.

The slain Lebanese terrorists were identified as Omar Schidam, Youssef Schidam, Bakr Saif, Omar Saif, Anas al-Jazzar, Mahmoud Al-Sayed. All six came to Iraq from Lebanon’s North and Akar governorates.

Last year, Lebanon’s al-Modon revealed in a report that more than 100 from northern Lebanon traveled to Iraq through Syria to join the ranks of ISIS. Back then, Lebanon’s Minister of Interior Bassam al-Mawlawi confirmed much of the information revealed by al-Modo. Despite this, Lebanese authorities didn’t take any real measures to neutralize ISIS recruitment networks in the country.

The information revealed as a result of the recent terrorist attack in Iraq’s Diyala indicates that ISIS is still operating in the Middle East as a unified organization. The terrorist group’s cells in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon continue to coordinate their operations closely.

Those Lebanese wahabis are so useless, all they do is leech in north Lebanon, they bring no value. Hezbollah has done the job of the government, and can bring Russian, Chinese and Iranian scientists to re build our infrastructure and build power plants, but the Saudi funded ministers like the Lebanese minister of energy won’t allow hezb to help to please his Jewish Mohammed bin Salman master. Without Hezbollah the crisis would be worse and those wahabis still think they can control Lebanon
