Iraqi Forces Hit ISIL’s Positions Hard at Border with Syria

 

 The Iraqi volunteer forces of Hashd al-Shaabi targeted ISIL’s strongholds at the borders with Syria on Tuesday, inflicting major losses on the terrorists.

The Hashd al-Shaabi’s artillery and missile units opened heavy fire at ISIL’s positions in the village of al-Dashisheh opposite to Tal (hill) Safouk at border with Syria, destroying a number of vehicles and a large volume of military equipment and killing a number of terrorists.

The Arabic-language website of the AMN reported on Sunday that Hashd al-Shaabi fighters took full control over al-Qa’em-Albu Kamal border-crossing.

The AMN further said that the Iraqi forces were capable of preventing ISIL from fleeing Syria’s Deir Ezzur for the Iraqi province of Anbar following the capture of the border passageway.
