The Iraqi Army and the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) have liberated the strategic border city of al-Qaim from ISIS.
The army and the PMU launched its attack on al-Qaim on November 3 morning and liberated the city by the evening facing a relatively small ISIS resistance in the area. Now, when the last major ISIS stronghold in Iraq fell into the hands of government forces, the army and the PMU will be able to work on securing the rest of western Iraq.
This also opens additional opportunities for Syrian forces which are now working to retake the ISIS-held city of al-Bukamal on the Syrian side of the border.
On November 3 morning, the Syrian military also announced the liberation of Deir Ezzor city.

The extermination of Jew ISIS is important.
It is indeed :) Mind you ,a captured Israeli ISIS Adviser would be fun.
IMHO the upcoming direct cooperation between SAA , PMU , Hezbollah and Iraqi Army is the biggest news of the day. In Washington and TelAviv they are now biting the nails trying to find responses to that,
wait for a fake chemical attack!
That will be the Catalyst for a response and attack on the SAA
Greater Syria?
Hehehe, just Syria including stolen Golan Hights by terrorist, racist state of Israel, full border control all around as it is internationally recognized.
Zio swamp monsters as their establishment status quo puppets stomping with their little chubby feet.
Smaller Syria for sure..
iraqi army is by 2 classes better than saa.
They have less enemies over there. And it’s obvious that ISIS chose not to concentrate on Iraq any more, they decided to just concentrate on the Syrian side.
no. they defeatred isis, kurds. and now neraby syrian border excellent velocity.
Ah the great and fierce battle with the Kurds where the Peshmerga ran away. :P
If we look at it like that then the SDF are also a glorious fighting machine seeing how they quickly seize abandoned areas from ISIS.
However, I don’t want to say anything bad for the Iraqi Army and PMU, they are doing a good job. I just don’t like your stupid disrespect towards the Syrian Army.
see you, how much is the iraqi army stronger? :D
You do realise that you are replying to one of the 2 or 3 “troll a-holes” on here don’t you ?. Block it.
Excellent velocity indeed, and hopefully some will cross the border for joint operation with SAA on Al Bukamal. An Iraqi mechanized div at full strength has a lot of hitting power, this is what I was referring to in our arguments 6 months ago. For the SAA to at least have a solid right flank along the border with help.
You are very impatient like most people. :)
of course, i am impatient, when due to laizyness of saa is lost east syria.
Maybe – but they failed; most are dead.
I wonder if the US and Israel pay death insurance to their families ?.
Reread headline is Iraqi army and the PMU.
pmu is nothing. i remeber, they ran as rabbits before isis in both, syria and iraq. the coming of ruaf and usaf has changed the situation.
Those bastards are just changing uniform. ISIS has pulled the biggest disappearing act
Not really, thy are the dumber ones in the SDF and not Syrian.
