Sheikh Jaafar Sheikh Mustafa stated, "The current joint operation in the Garmasir area aims to protect citizens and eliminate the remnants of ISIS terrorist organization once and for all."

"The military operation also aims to clean those areas, and the operations will continue until those areas are cleared, and the hideouts and hostels are destroyed," he added.
