"The operation was based on intelligence and careful follow-up on the movements of terrorists after the massacre in al-Rashad area in Al-Meqdadiya district," al-Musawi said, adding that "the forces continue to advance with good impulsiveness due to the complicated geographical terrain of the area, the rugged mountainous terrain with the support of army aviation and the drones of the popular mobilization."
