Fighters from the Iraqi pro-government Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) have pounded the positions of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group in Syria’s eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr as the militants are seeking to sneak through the border into Iraq.

Qassem Mesleh, PMU commander for Iraq’s west Anbar region, said in a statement on Wednesday that the volunteer forces – commonly known with the Arabic name Hashd al-Sha’abi – have targeted Daesh positions inside the Syrian territory, dealing heavy blows to the extremists.

Mesleh noted that many Daesh militants have also escaped from the border regions with Iraq, leaving behind a considerable amount of munitions and improvised explosive devices.

Meanwhile, Qutri al-Samarmad, a Hashd al-Sha’abi commander in Anbar, told Arabic-language Basnews news agency that Daesh Takfiris had executed 30 fellow terrorists in Hajin region near Abu Kamal city.
