Iraqi military aircraft kill 170 Daesh terrorists in Salahuddin
2017-08-07
[Iran Press TV] Iraqi army choppers have killed at least 170 members of the ISIS terrorist group in a series of Arclight airstrikes launched in the country’s northern Salahuddin province.

"The Iraqi army's helicopter gunships, in coordination with Salahudin's Operations Command (SOC), carried out effective Arclight airstrikes on ISIS terrorist gangs in Tasnei' Askari area in southwest of Shirqat, some 280 km north of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, leaving a total of 170 faceless myrmidons killed," said a statement released by the Iraqi defense ministry on Sunday.

During the strikes, some eight terrorist post armed with heavy machine guns and around 13 vehicles were also destroyed.

Earlier in the day, Iraqi fighters from the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), also known as Hashd al-Sha’abi, also thwarted an attempt by the faceless myrmidons to enter the province, killing a large number of them and destroying their weapons and equipment.

"Troops of the first brigade of al-Hashd al-Shaabi repulsed an attack by the ISIS in western djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
," said a military statement. "The enemy tried to sneak into the Iraq-Syrian borders before the fighters of the first brigade faced them, causing heavy losses among them," it added.
