US forces carried out air landing operation near Mosul

An Iraqi military source revealed that US forces conducted an air landing operation, west of Shoura district, south of the city of Mosul, to evacuate a number of its spies inside ISIS organization. At the same time, parliamentary movements are taking place to vote on the postponement of the Kirkuk elections for the third consecutive session since the 2005 ballot, and the retention of the local government and its council, which accepted power-sharing and the scrutiny of data and records.

The source said that US forces used during the process of landing four-wheeled motorcycles, while the source did not confirm the identity of the characters who were evacuated during the landing operation. The same source said International Alliance's jets carried out an air strike about three kilometers from the landing operation targeted one of the tunnels used by the organization in Shoura area.

ISIS is trying to rearrange its ranks and appoint new leaders in the desert of western Iraq, dragging government forces into a war of attrition, as Iraqi and US intelligence agencies are trying to monitor its movements and monitor its leadership to target them. The organization, according to the same source, transferred the communication and control centers from Mosul to the city of Tal Afar, its largest stronghold in Mosul, which extends from the desert to Anbar desert, where Iraqi forces are trying to cut all the routes from Tal Afar to Qaim.

On the other hand, US-led coalition's wareplanes killed five ISIS snipers on Friday, a security source was quoted saying. An officer in the Kurdish Peshmerga forces said that the jets pounded ISIS locations in Kabiba village, west of Kirkuk, killing five snipers from the group.
 
In the meantime, Jarf al-Sakhr returned to the scene of incidents after several violations were recorded targeting the security forces, after two years of clearing it from ISIS. Last June, a suicide attack in Musayyib market, renewed fears of returning the displaced. The agrarian city witnessed fierce battles that lasted for months against a preacher.
 
Abdul Karim al-Abtan, whose clan lives in areas south of Baghdad, said that 13 thousand families had been displaced from al-Jarf, and no one returned to it yet. Al-Abtan, MP of the National Coalition, confirmed that factions of Mobilization Forces (MF) are those who hold the land and have the final decision.
 
MF intervened to secure the area after the fall of Mosul in June 2014, and after several months was able to regain control of the city. At that time the government of Nuri al-Maliki had changed the command of operations in Babylon 3 times because of the failure to liberate the area.
 
In February 2014, a large meeting was held in the city, after the influx of militants from Falluja increased. The meeting included clans, local officials and military leadership. At that meeting, some officers threatened to demolish every house, detonate an explosive device in front of it, in a move to control attacks on security forces. The meeting came at the time after all previous methods failed to control the security situation, which began to escalate in a frightening way. The meeting was preceded by an agreement between the parties to divide the area into seven demilitarized sections shared by security forces and clan elders.

Musayyib alone hosts 2800 displaced people, most of them residents of the cliff, while the city suffers from poor service conditions. Musayyib officials demand that the government or any official make promises not to repeat what happened three years ago, in return for the return of the population to al-Jarf.
