In a decisive blow to the remnants of the Islamic State (ISIS), Iraqi security forces have arrested 10 terrorists in a series of high-intensity operations spanning five key provinces, reaffirming the country’s unwavering resolve in its war against extremism.
The nationwide crackdown, carried out with precision and based on actionable intelligence, targeted ISIS operatives in Diyala, Salahuddin, Nineveh, Kirkuk, and Anbar. According to security officials, the arrests mark a significant disruption of ISIS’s remaining networks and operational capacity across northern and western Iraq.
“These operations underscore the unmatched readiness and determination of our forces to hunt down and dismantle every last ISIS cell threatening the security of Iraq,” a senior counterterrorism official stated.
The arrested individuals were reportedly involved in a range of terrorist activities, including coordinating attacks, facilitating movement of militants, and providing logistical support. Authorities confirmed that the raids were executed without civilian casualties, reflecting the tactical superiority and discipline of the Iraqi forces.
The suspects are now in custody and undergoing interrogation. Security sources indicated that further operations are imminent as Iraq intensifies its campaign to uproot terrorist elements from rural hideouts and urban centers alike.
This sweeping action comes amid a broader national effort to fortify border security, enhance intelligence-sharing, and prevent the regrouping of extremist factions. Officials reaffirmed that Iraq will not allow ISIS—or any other terror group—to regain a foothold on its soil.
