The commander of the al-Jazeera and al-Badiya Operations, Major General Ali Ibrahim Dbon, announced on Tuesday that the artillery of his military units managed to shell the headquarters of ISIL in Albu-Hayat area in Haditha district, 160 kilometers (99 miles) west of the provincial capital Ramadi, killing 21 terrorists and wounding six others, the Iraqi News online newspaper reported.
The army have also destroyed the militants’ headquarters and four of their vehicles, Dbon added.
Meanwhile, a local source in the country’s northern province of Nineveh said that ISIL Takfiris had executed elders from the Jabour tribe for alleged charges of cooperating with the Iraqi government.
They put the elders “inside cages and burned them in the center of the al-Qayara district of the provincial capital Mosul in southern Nineveh,” said the unnamed source as quoted by the Iraqi News.
Mosul, which fell to ISIL in June last year, has served as the de-facto capital of the terror group in the country.
