Shafaq News/ A total of ten Jihadists were eliminated in a series of coordinated operations by the Air Force's "Sky Hawks" and the Counter-Terrorism Service over the past 24 hours, Iraq's Security Media Cell (SMC) reported on Saturday.

Under the directives of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and overseen by the Joint Operations Command, these actions have intensified the clampdown on terrorist elements, an official press release said.
