The Takfiris aimed through the attack to open a way in a bid to flee the area into Syria because they have been besieged by Iarqi forces, PMF media center reported.

Fierce festivities between the PMF (which is also known as Hashd Shaabi) and the snuffies lasted for six hours.

Dozens of holy warriors were killed in the attack, including ISIS commanders who were calling their command for help but there was no answer, PMF media center said.

The Hashd forces also managed to destroy 17 ISIS vehicles, according to its media center.
