SULAIMANI (ESTA) — Iraqi warplanes conducted seven airstrikes against Islamic State (ISIS) hideouts in Saladin province on Saturday, Iraq’s military said.
The Iraqi F-16 jets targeted five ISIS hideouts in east of Saladin, the security media cell said in a statement.
Islamic State controlled roughly a third of Iraq between 2014 and 2017.
Iraqi forces and Kurdish troops backed by U.S.-led Coalition forces as well as Iran-backed Shia militias defeated the militant group in 2017, but its members still roam areas of northern Iraq and northeastern Syria.
