On March 20, Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) cleared more than 100 square kilometers of Khanaqin in the eastern province of Diyala of ISIS remnants.
PMU units launched a large-scale combing operation in the region, which borders Iran, in the morning. The operation was successfully concluded by the eve.

Khanaqin operation was conducted by the PMU’s Diyala Operations Command, the engineer unit and the 4th Regiments of the 23th Brigade and the 2nd Regiments of the 23th Brigade.
“The operation resulted in securing and clearing eight areas: Ain al-Samak, Zallu, Kani Masi, Ali al-Sagheer, Baggha, Tilal Nukht Khan, Wadi Gharb, and Wadi Talab,” a source in the PMU said, according to the Military Media.
The large-scale combing operation targeted ISIS cells in Khanaqin, which have been active in the areas of al-Zur and al-Adghal [forest in Arabic].
Similar security operations are carried out in ISIS’ ex-strongholds on a regular basis. These operations are limiting the movement of ISIS remnants, preventing the terrorist group from reorganizing its members.
wish they had cleared the dysfunctional states of A out of Iraq once and for all and then managed to lay their hands on the mossad agents sneaking about pretending to be iraqis and made short shrift of their futures
According to You Mossads must be mopre then 100 milion or You see ghosts.
There still is no Nobel price for lying all the time.
You are a real pain in the arse, a despicable little troll. Go get a life
The guy is a moron without a clue even on rejection. Spams for effect, just ignore.
One step at a time.
Indeed, the clearance and total control over the Baghdad-Damasus-Beirut highway is the main priority of the resistance and that has been largely accomplished and will be followed by mass movement of weaponry and AD systems.

Good job.
Very nice work PMU stay strong and capable in these weird times
That’s a small amount of area for a large country like Iraq.
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Yes. I am not impressed as well.
I hope the information is correct and none from the very mobile ISIS are hiding in Iran or Peshmerga.
“Clearing” to me says, they fpund none…
dissimulation…ISIS is amerika…the little sister of the murikans that they created and fund in concert w their turk/israeli/saudi allies…now turkey is sending the to Libya and trying to send them to Europe…notably none Syrian…rathe they r Uigher, Afghan taoists or economic migrants…created by the fascist ameikan imperialism
And I suppose the US is assassinating PMU leaders in an attempt to save their terrorist forces from being wiped out.
