Ahlul Bayt News Agency - Peshmerga Commander on Gwer frontline Qadr Qadr has revealed that so-called Islamic State (IS) militants are surrendering to Kurdish forces on a regular basis, since the routes between territories in Iraq and Syria have been blocked.



Qadr explained that IS insurgents have withdrawn from the Gwer area to their stronghold of Mosul, after suffering heavy losses in recent weeks.



He added that over 300 terrorists have surrendered to the Peshmerga forces.



The Peshmerga have taken control of IS routes connecting Syria and Iraq, Qader pointed out, meaning ammunition and military support cannot reach the ISIS terrorists in Mosul.

Official spokesman for the Iraqi Presidency Khaled Shwani says that burning the Kurdistan Region or Iraqi flags is a violation of national and constitutional laws.



He said that it goes against the need to stabilise and unify against Islamic State (IS) and the enemies of Iraq. Such actions damage Iraq, he said, and must cease.



He revealed that in the recent meeting between the Iraqi president, Prime Minister and Parliament speaker, all agreed that work must be done to promote solidarity, harmony and peace among the people of Iraq during these testing times.



They also agreed that uniting national interests at all levels, while identifying those aiming to cause unrest, are essential in the fight against terrorism.



Shwani concluded that the Peshmerga forces and Shi’ite militia Hashd al-Shaabi, hand in hand with Iraqi army, federal police and tribal forces, must fight together to destroy IS.
