The Hashd al-Shaabi was carried out while the operation of Hashd al-Shaabi forces to clear different areas of Al-Tarmiyah city is entering its second week, and this shows that terrorism is still active and is moving in the suburbs of the capital.
Before the start of Muharram, Iraqi security forces launched a security operation in the Tarmiyah area to track down Daesh remnants and prevent attacks on Husseini mourning processions in Baghdad.
In late 2017, Iraq declared victory over the terrorist group after ousting Daesh from all major cities it captured in 2014.
Since then, Daesh attacks in cities have dropped significantly, but Iraqi forces are still searching for ISIL remnants in mountainous and desert areas, occasionally targeting military locations.
