Iraq’s Joint Operations Command said on Saturday that Iraqi F-16 fighter jets destroyed two ISIL hideouts north of the city of Rawah in Anbar province.
According to a statement cited by local media outlets, Iraqi security forces carried out a successful security operation targeting ISIL positions in the area.
The statement said the operation was conducted based on accurate intelligence and under the supervision, monitoring, and planning of the Joint Operations Command. During the operation, Iraqi F-16 fighter jets struck and destroyed two terrorist hideouts.
The Joint Operations Command added that preliminary information indicates the operation resulted in the killing of a number of ISIL terrorists present at the sites, as well as the destruction of their weapons, equipment, and logistical supplies.
In 2017, Iraq declared victory over the ISIL terrorist group after three years of fighting with this group.
Despite the Iraqi declaration of victory over ISIL, remnants of ISIL terrorists are still active in some areas of Diyala, Kirkuk, Nineveh, Saladin, Anbar, and Baghdad provinces.
