According to the official media wing of Hashd al-Shaabi, their forces confronted a small Islamic State group that was attempting to capture some of their points near the border city of al-Qa’im in the western part of the al-Anbar Governorate.

Hashd al-Shaabi managed to foil the terrorist attack along the Syrian border, killing and wounding all of the members of the Islamic State.
