The sources said that following deployment of forces at borders with Syria the Hashd al-Shaabi is coordinating with the Syrian army to jointly storm ISIS and free al-Tanf border town and region.
The sources further said that the army soldiers have now engaged in tough battle with terrorists in Syria's Badiyeh (desert) towards South to recapture the al-Tanf border-crossing, adding Hasha al-Shaabi tries to go through the army-held regions in Syria to move towards North and open a way to al-Tanf.
Earlier today, the Badr Organization affiliated to the Hashd al-Shaabi (Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces) announced in statement that 17km of Iraq's borderline with Syria has been cleaned up of ISIS terrorists in its forces' operation.
The statement said that the Iraqi forces managed to advance against ISIS along the country's border with Syria from the entrance of the village of Um Jaris towards the village of Jayr Qalfas and the town of al-Qa'em, restoring security to 17km of borderline.
The statement added that Jayer Qalfas is now under the Iraqi forces' siege and terrorists' supply lines to the village have been cut off, adding that the cleansing operation in the village will kick off soon.
The statement went on to say that 13 terrorists, including four suicide attackers, were killed and their bomb-laden vehicles were destroyed in the attack.
