Iraqi security forces uncover Daesh media center in southern Mosul

A high-ranking Iraqi security official says government forces have managed to uncover and dismantle a media and information center run by the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group south of Mosul as they try to flush the extremists out of their last urban stronghold in the country.

According to the reports, Commander of Federal Police Forces Lieutenant General Raed Shaker Jawdat told Arabic-language All Iraq News news agency on Sunday that Iraqi forces made the discovery in the town of Hammam al-Alil, situated about 30 km south of Mosul, on Sunday.

Jawdat added that Iraqi security forces recovered a number of state-of-the-art cameras, dozens of video files, a considerable amount of money and numerous confidential documents from the site.

Meanwhile, soldiers from Salahuddin Liberation Operation and the 60th Brigade of the Iraqi Army have established their control over three villages in the northern province of Salahuddin.

The Joint Operations Command (JOC) announced in a Sunday statement that government forces had liberated the village of Sahl al-Madhif on the eastern outskirts of Shirqat town, located some 300 km north of the capital Baghdad, from the clutches of Daesh Takfiri terrorists and hoisted the national flag over several buildings there.

Later in the day, the same forces retook the villages of al-Jadida and al-Nahiyah al-Kabirah.

Furthermore, fighters from Popular Mobilization Units, better known by the Arabic name, Hashd al-Sha’abi, blew up a car rigged with explosives as it was heading toward Upper al-Sharia village west of Tal Afar town, 63 kilometers west of Mosul.
