“الحزب”: نفذنا هجوماً نارياً على قاعدة خربة ماعر

Shiite volunteers from the Iraqi Ketaeb Hezbollah, join the Iraqi army to fight against Jihadist militants of the Islamic State (IS), formerly known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), on July 9, 2014, in Baghdad. Iraq's government once battled entrenched Shiite militiamen but is now making common cause with them against a jihadist-led onslaught that Baghdad's forces are struggling to contain on their own.
