The Iraqi military is cooperating with tribal fighters in order to launch another round of strikes on the ISIL terrorist group. They are trying to advance to the western desert area bordering Syria, to attack one of the last ISIL strongholds there. Moreover, the Iraqi government also expanded the range of their surveillance over the ISIL, after the extremist fighters were driven out of Nineveh province earlier this year. According to an AFP journalist, Iraqi armed forces are pretty close to Syria’s border and are establishing their attack positions. The tribal fighters are also waiting to cooperate with the Iraqi military, and they are confident of victory as they know very well ISIL's strategies.
