TEHRAN (FNA)- Hashd al-Shaabi and Iraqi security forces started cleansing operations against the remnants of the ISIL terrorist group in the two Southern provinces of Najaf and Karbala.<\/div>\n
\n

“Hashd al-Shaabi (Iraqi popular forces), the army, the police and border guards started Mantaqat al-Forat al-Awsat operations in 8 directions on Wednesday morning to establish security in Jazirat al-Najaf and Sahra al-Karbala regions,” General Ali al-Hamdani, a commander of Hashd al-Shaabi participating in the operations, was quoted by the Arabic-language Wa’a news agency as saying on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He added that the operations have been planned based on precise intelligence gained after chasing and monitoring the moves by ISIL remnants in the region.<\/p>\n

Al-Hamdani underlined that the Iraqi military forces will continue cleansing operations against the ISIL as scheduled despite bad weather conditions.<\/p>\n

Hashd al-Shaabi forces have actively been involved in Iraq’s fight against the terrorist groups, specially in bordering areas.<\/p>\n

Reports said last Sunday that Iraq’s Kata’eb Hezbollah popular forces would establish and transfer its members to a new military base near the borders with Syria after the US destruction of its headquarters last month.<\/p>\n

“Kata’eb Hezbollah has chosen a new base on Akashat-al-Qa’em road to be its main base in the bordering areas between Iraq and Syria,” an Iraqi border guard official told the Arabic-language al-Arabi al-Jadid.<\/p>\n

He added that Hezbollah’s new base is actually an old base belonging to the Iraqi army, noting that it will be reconstructed to replace the US-destroyed headquarters.<\/p>\n

“Members of Kata’eb Hezbollah will likely be transferred to the new base in less than two weeks,” the official said.<\/p>\n

Late last month, the US drones bombarded a Kata’eb Hezbollah’s base near the border with Syria in Iraq’s Western province of Anbar, a Hashd Shaabi statement said.<\/p>\n

The attack took place in when the US drones bombarded the base of Hashd Shaabi’s 45th Brigade near the border town of al-Qaim, the statement said.<\/p>\n

The bombardment left tens of the brigade’s members killed and wounded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
