Iraqi security forces killed seven Islamic State (IS) militants in two operations, security authorities said on Friday.
In one operation, Iraqi F-16 fighter jets carried out airstrikes on two hideouts, housing four IS militants in the desert west of the northern Nineveh province, according to a statement from the Security Media Cell, a media outlet affiliated with the Iraqi Joint Operations Command.
The airstrikes, which followed days of surveillance by the Military Intelligence Directorate, resulted in the killing of the militants and the destruction of the two hideouts, including their logistical supplies, equipment, and ammunition.
