On Wednesday, the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) repelled an ISIS attack on its positions in the vicinity of Al-Ba’aj west of Mosul.
The PMU is currently working to encircle Al-Ba’aj after reaching the Syrian-Iraqi border.
Meanwhile, PMU spokesman, Ahmed al-Asadi, announced that the entry of the PMU or any other Iraqi forces to a neighboring country requires the approval of the Iraqi Parliament. The Iraqi constitution prohibits any interference in the affairs of neighboring countries. He added that talking about any additional operations before the end of the fighting in Iraq is far from reality.

Some experts believe that Al-Assadi’s statement is just formal words. There are already members of some PMU militias inside Syria. Hezbollah al-Nujabaa, the Al-Imam Ali Battalions are already deployed in the desert of Damascus and the northern Suweida countryside.
