Two Hashd Sha’abi Fighters Martyred in Iraq
BAGHDAD (Dispatches) – Two fighters with Popular Mobilization Forces, also known in Arabic as the Hashd al-Sha’abi, were martyred on Sunday in attacks by the Daesh terror group in northern Iraq’s Salahuddin province, according to the Iraqi militia.
Two other members were injured in the attacks that targeted security checkpoints in east of Samarra city in the province, the Hashd al-Sha’abi said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the Iraqi army said Sunday it launched a large-scale military operation against Daesh terrorists in the northern areas of Salahuddin province.
The group also said in a separate statement that its forces joined the Iraqi army in an operation against the Daesh terrorist group in Baiji district in northern Salahuddin.
On Saturday, an Iraqi army officer was killed in a bomb explosion in Tuz Khurmatu district in the same province.
In the past months, several attacks were reported in Iraq by the Daesh terrorists, leaving dozens killed and injured.
In June 2014, the terrorist group captured Mosul, Salahuddin and Anbar provinces and parts of Diyala and Kirkuk, which have been recaptured from the group in late 2017 by the Iraqi forces.
The Iraqi army continues to carry out frequent operations against the group in these parts where the group has recently mobilized its sleeper cells in rural areas.
