hard boyz were killed by Iraqi forces during the Tigris military operation in the eastern province of Salahadin.
"A force belonging to Division 5 of the Iraqi army defeated a massive assault of ISIS hard boyz on the oilfields of Allas and Ajail and bumped off 50 bad boys," read the Iraq Defense Ministry statement. It added that nine vehicles belonging to the turbans were destroyed.
According to an Iraqi security source, ISIS hard boyz had recaptured the area of Albu Jaradian in the town of Baiji in Salahadin, and "they are on the offensive towards the western neighborhoods of Karaba and Naft in Baiji."
The Baiji setbacks came as Iraqi Defense Minister Khalid Obaidi arrived in the town of Zaluia in Salahadin to mark the establishment of the Zaluia-Balad bridge.
On June 30, Hadi al-Amri, the head of the Badr Organization, said the oilfields of Allas and Ajail had become a graveyard for ISIS bad boys, and they could not return to the provinces of Diyala and Salahadin ever again.
