20 Daesh Terrorists Killed in Iraqi Airstrikes in Eastern Syria
DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – At least 20 Daesh terrorists were killed in eastern Syria on Saturday by Iraqi airstrikes and shelling, a war monitor group reported.
The Iraqi warplanes and the pro-Syrian government fighters targeted the last Daesh-held pocket on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River in eastern Syria, according to the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The shelling and airstrikes were coupled with clashes between Daesh terrorists and the Kurdish-led so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on the ground.
The Britain-based watchdog group said a total of 1,159 Daesh terrorists have been killed since the SDF launched their offensive in the eastern Euphrates region on Sept. 10, 2018.
Iraqi pro-government fighters from the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) also carried out a counter-terrorism operation in Syria’s eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr, killing and injuring dozens of terrorists from the Daesh group in the process.
The commander of the volunteer forces – better known by the Arabic name Hashd al-Sha’abi – in western Anbar, Qassim Mosleh, said 35 Daesh extremists were eliminated or sustained injuries as Iraqi forces pounded their positions in the village of al- Susah.
Mosleh went on to say that three militant commanders, identified by the noms de guerre Abu Wadah, Abu Hamza and Abu Fatoum, were killed in the offensive.
On December 31, 2018, Iraqi military aircraft pounded a strategic position of Daesh terrorists in Syria’s Dayr al-Zawr, after Syrians President Bashar al-Assad allowed Iraqi fighter jets to conduct airstrikes against the extremists in Syria.
The media bureau of Iraq’s Joint Operations Command announced in a statement that Iraqi F-16 fighter jets had bombed and destroyed a two-story building on the outskirts of the village of Susah and killed 30 Daesh commanders as they were holding a meeting.
The statement added that the aerial assault was carried out following close surveillance by the Iraqi Intelligence Service.
