Iraqi Army foils a terrorist attack in Diyala
2022-02-02


On Tuesday, ISIS elements attacked the Iraqi Army north of Muqdadiya district, causing damage.

A security source told Shafaq News Agency, "The Army forces repelled an attack by ISIS snipers on an army point on the outskirts of Arab Fares village, north of Muqdadiya district."

"The attack caused damage to the thermal surveillance camera, while the attackers fled towards remote areas," he said.

The Miqdadiyah areas in Diyala have been a target of frequent attacks and security incidents due to their proximity to the Hemrin hills, which are the stronghold of ISIS in agricultural villages and orchards.

The bully boyz killed security forces, government officials, and civilians and displaced thousands of families from the region.



The Commander in al-Hashd al-Shaabi (PMF) told Shafaq News agency today that border villages on the outskirts of al-Udhaim district in Diyala, adjacent to Saladin, are witnessing a heavy security deployment in anticipation of any potential terrorist attack.

Al-Azzawi said that the residents demanded to train tribal groups in areas near Saladin, to back up the PMF.

He added that there is full cooperation between the security forces and the residents, to monitor and prevent any terrorists' movements or attacks.

The areas between Diyala and Saladin are full of security gaps and considered very dangerous, because they still contain ISIS hideouts from which the snuffies launch their attacks on the security forces and civilians.
