Iraqi forces destroyed more than five Islamic State hideouts in the Rawa area

Iraqi forces fully captured Rawa, the last town held by the Islamic State in Iraq on Sunday. While counter-terrorism operations continue to destroy militant hideouts in remote regions, the specific operation to retake the town concluded after brief clashes. The military regularly conducts sweeps and airstrikes in provinces like Kirkuk and Anbar to locate and demolish remaining tunnels and logistical bases.
