This is reported by the Associated Press. According to the Prime Minister, this operation began two days after the Iraqi forces launched an offensive against IGIL in the Iraqi province of Anbar.

By the way, the city of Hawia is at a distance of 240 kilometers north of Baghdad. As you know, this is one of the last territories controlled by terrorists.

It should be noted that more recently, Iraqi aircraft and coalition aircraft under the leadership of the United States have intensified air strikes against IGIL bases in Javi'a.

Recall, as previously reported, "URA-Inform", the Russian Air Force in Syria caused several air attacks on the positions of the "Islamic state" in the city of Deir-ez-Zorah.
