An ISIS leader and three members of the organization were killed in strikes launched by Iraqi warplanes on Al-Waqf Basin in Diyala Governorate, northern Iraq.
Security sources reported that air forces targeted ISIS hideouts in Basatin al-Mukhaisa, northeast of Baqubah, resulting in the killing of an ISIS leader and three of his companions.
The Joint Operations Command had previously announced the destruction of three ISIS hideouts using F-16 warplanes at the Diyala operations site.
Although the Iraqi government announced the elimination of ISIS in 2017, Iraqi security forces arrest members of ISIS on an almost daily basis in various operations carried out in various parts of Iraq, as the remnants of the organization continue to carry out attacks from time to time targeting security men, the army, and civilians.
