Tehran - FNA
Iraqi warplanes hit the hideouts and convoys of the ISIL terrorists in Tikrit and Mosul, and managed to kill 45 members of the Takfiri group.
Iraq's bombers, in cooperation with the army's Military Intelligence Service, launched massive strikes against the positions of the terrorists in Shirqat, Tikrit, leaving 30 ISIL Takfiri terrorists dead and injured on Saturday.
Also, the airstrikes claimed the lives of 15 ISIL terrorists in Aziz al-Balad district, in Mosul. Three vehicles of the terrorists equipped with heavy machine-guns were targeted during the Mosul operation by the army as well.
The ISIL Takfiri terrorists currently control parts of Syria and Iraq. They have threatened all communities, including Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Ezadi Kurds and others, as they continue their atrocities in Iraq.
Senior Iraqi officials have blamed Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and some Persian Gulf Arab states for the growing terrorism in their country.
The ISIL has links with Saudi intelligence and is believed to be indirectly supported by the Israeli regime.
