Kurdish Peshmerga forces have launched an operation against the Daesh (ISIS / ISIL) terrorists in Kazir region, which lies northeast of the militant-held city of Mosul.
Arif Tayfour, a spokesman for Peshmerga forces, said on Monday that his fellow fighters have killed 140 Daesh members over the past two days and purged more than 130 square kilometers of the area of the terrorists.
Tayfour added that four Peshmerga fighters lost their lives during the cleanup operation.
ISIS Abducts 100 Iraqi Youths for Not Growing Beard
Moreover, Daesh extremists have abducted 100 young residents of Fallujah, located roughly 69 kilometers (43 miles) west of Baghdad, on trumped-up charges of not growing beard and refusal to join the ranks of the militant outfit in battles against government forces and allied Popular Mobilization Units fighters.
Majid al-Jarisi, a tribal elder from Fallujah, told Arabic-language al-Sumaria satellite television network that the terrorists took away the youths to an unknown location and there is no information about their whereabouts.
