The Iraqi Joint Operations Command announced yesterday that seven militants, described as “terrorists,” including a “dangerous leader,” were killed in two Iraqi airstrikes carried out “on their hideouts in Salah al-Din Governorate” north of Baghdad.
The Iraqi Operations Command stated in a press release that “the targeting operation was carried out in coordination between the Iraqi Intelligence and the Counter-Terrorism Service, and was based on accurate information and intelligence efforts with the targeting cell of the Joint Operations Command.”
It added that the strike targeted a location in the Balkana Mountains in the Tuz Khurmatu district within the eastern Salah al-Din operations sector, and that the targeting was executed with two airstrikes by Iraqi F-16 aircraft, “resulting in the killing of all members of the terrorist detachment.”
