ISIL/ISIS Commanders Fleeing Western Iraqi Town en Masse

Senior commanders from the Takfiri ISIL terrorist group have reportedly started fleeing the town of Karma in Iraq’s beleaguered western province of Anbar en masse as Iraqi security forces are making headway toward the area.

Iraqi military commander Colonel MahmoudMorzi al-Jumaili announced that the terrorist commanders have begun escaping from the town, which is located 48 kilometers (30 miles) west of the capital, Baghdad, and heading toward an unknown location in Anbar Province, Lebanon’s al-Ahed news website reported.

Meanwhile, at least 35 ISIL terrorists have turned themselves in to Iraqi security forces deployed to the outskirts of the city of Fallujah, which is located roughly 69 kilometers (43 miles) west of Baghdad and is held by ISIL.

• A security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the development attests to the panic, confusion and serious cracks within the ranks of ISIL.

Separately, Iraqi security forces together with Popular Mobilization units retook control of a strategic highway on the outskirts of Trebil Village, which lies in Anbar Province and on the Iraq-Jordan border, on Friday.
