Iraqi Popular Forces Gift Quran to Anti-Daesh Fighters
Members of the Hashd al-Shaabi’s Quran department delegation went to the recently-liberated suburbs and neighborhoods of Mosul, north of Iraq, and gave the fighters there copies of the Holy Book.
They also held Quran recitation sessions for the fighters on the frontline.
The delegation is planned to visit other liberated areas in and around Mosul in coming days.
On October 17, Iraqi army troops and allied fighters, including Hashd al-Shaabi, launched a long-awaited offensive to retake the northern Iraqi city that fell to Daesh in 2014.
Defeating Daesh in Mosul would be a crushing blow to the Takfiri group that began its campaign of terror in northern and western Iraq more than two years ago.
On Tuesday, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said that the Iraqi forces needed three months to completely destroy Daesh.
