The IRGC public relations department announced in a statement released on Tuesday evening that the high-profile bad boy, better known by the nom de guerre Abu Dhoha, was killed along with four assistants in an ambush carried out by the Iraqi pro-government Popular Mobilization Units ‐ commonly known by the Arabic word Hashd al-Sha’abi. On October 1, the IRGC rained surface-to surface ballistic missiles on the positions of ISIS in eastern Syria, which along with the al-Ahwazia separatist group took responsibility for the September 22 terrorist attack in Ahvaz.
