Tactics Institute calls for an immediate end to ISIS’s violent activities, which threaten regional security and stability. The recent attack on Iraqi soldiers underscores the ongoing threat posed by ISIS in Iraq. This attack, along with the group’s continued presence and sporadic attacks in various provinces, highlights the urgent need for concerted action to address this threat.
An Iraqi army officer and four soldiers were killed in an aggression in central Iraq launched by ISIS. The attack took place late on Monday in a rural location between Diyala and Salahuddin provinces, the government stated. The area has been a cradle of activity for militant cells years after Iraq declared a win over ISIS in 2017. In a statement, the Iraqi Defence Ministry lamented the loss of Col Khalid Naji Wassak, a regiment commander, and “a number of heroic fighters … as a result of their response to a terrorist attack”.
The attack fits as a reminder that ISIS still poses a threat. ISIS’s persistent activities not only endanger the lives of Iraqi soldiers and civilians but also undermine efforts to achieve lasting peace and security in the region. The Iraqi government, supported by international partners, must take decisive action to counter ISIS’s influence and prevent further loss of life.
Furthermore, the Tactics Institute emphasizes that ISIS’s actions constitute a flagrant violation of international laws and fundamental human rights. The targeting of Iraqi soldiers and civilians is unacceptable and must be met with firm condemnation and decisive action.
In light of these developments, the Tactics Institute urges the Iraqi government and its allies to intensify their efforts to combat ISIS and restore peace and stability to the region. The international community must stand united in the fight against terrorism and work towards eradicating the threat posed by ISIS.
Tactics Institute reiterates its call for an immediate cessation of ISIS’s violent activities and calls on all parties involved to prioritize the safety and security of the Iraqi people. Only through collective action and unwavering commitment can we hope to overcome the scourge of terrorism and build a safer, more peaceful world.
