Heavy rains killed seven members of ISIS in Hawija district a security source in Kirkuk province told Al-Sumaria News on Sunday.

The source told Alsumaria News, “Today, heavy rains resulted in the collapse of one of the Islamic State’s (ISIS) tunnels in Hawija district (55 km southwest of Kirkuk).”

“Seven members of the Islamic State, who were hiding from air strikes inside the tunnel, had been killed when the tunnel collapsed,” the source added.

“Rains also helped displaced people fleeing from Hawija to discover IEDs planted by the extremist group, as well as revealing the tunnels that were submerged by rainwater,” the source further added on condition of anonymity.
