Iraqi forces kill a prominent ISIS leader
2022-02-01


Iraq's Security Media Cell announced that the National Security forces had confirmed that the ISIS “deputy governor of north Baghdad” were killed.

In a statement, the Cell said that the DNA test approved that the body is for Adwan Farhan Jafal, so-called “Sheikh Seif.”

Sheikh Seif was killed by Iraqi airstrikes in Tarmiyah district, along with five other ISIS elements, a week ago.
Rudaw adds:
According to a report published this month by Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, there is little evidence of a significant ISIS resurgence in Iraq, with the militants increasingly isolated from the population.

“The Islamic State’s insurgency in Iraq underwent a steep decline over the last 20 months,” the global security think-tank states. “A comprehensive analysis of attack metrics shows an insurgency that has deteriorated in both the quality of its operations and overall volume of attack activity, which has fallen to its lowest point since 2003.”
