BEIRUT, LEBANON (1:15 P.M.) – The Popular Mobilization Units (Hashd Al-Sha’abi) captured the large hilltop of Tal Al-Sheikh near the Al-Qaiwaran area in the Nineveh Governorate, the PMU’s official media wing reported this morning.
With Al-Qaiwaran captured, the Popular Mobilization Units will now push further east towards the Al-Qaiwaran area, as they look to expel the Islamic State (ISIL) terror organization from Tal ‘Afar.
Tal ‘Afar is one of the Islamic State’s final strongholds in Iraq; it was one of the first towns to fall to the terrorist group in the Summer of 2014.
