Shafaq News- Baghdad

Foreign advisers have withdrawn from Iraq’s Joint Operations
Command (JOC) aboard cargo aircraft two days earlier, a security source told
Shafaq News on Sunday.

Earlier this month,
Italy began withdrawing troops from Iraq’s Kurdistan Region after a drone
strike targeted Camp Singara on March 12 without causing casualties among
deployed forces.

Cities across the
Kurdistan Region have come under repeated rocket and drone attacks since the
start of the US-Israeli war on Iran, with strikes hitting Harir airbase, Erbil
International Airport, and the headquarters of Iranian Kurdish opposition
groups in northern Iraq. The Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT), a US-based
monitoring organization, reported more than 190 missile and drone attacks on
the Region during that period.
