Iraqi security forces killed five ISIS militants and captured three others in Salahuddin province. Iraqi army has given this information. The Iraqi Defense Ministry said in a statement on Friday that Iraqi warplanes carried out air strikes on ISIS targets in the province, killing five militants. After the three other terrorists were caught alive, other information is being taken from them. Now they will be punished severely.

A provincial security source said the airstrike targeted an ISIS base in the Tuz Khumarto area in the eastern part of the province. On the basis of intelligence inputs, the army made a plan on this area and attacked at the appropriate time. Meanwhile, the Iraqi Joint Operations Command's media office said in a statement that an Interior Ministry intelligence force captured three suspected ISIS militants in the Tarmiyah area, about 30 kilometers north of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

The Iraqi army is heaving a sigh of relief after five terrorists were killed. Iraq reported that the terrorists confessed that they killed three civilians in Tarmiyah between 2021 and 2022 and that they carried out bombings against Iraqi forces. According to media reports, Iraqi security forces have carried out operations in the past months to crack down on the activities of extremist militants. The security situation in Iraq is improving since the defeat of IS in 2017.
