Prime Minister Haider al Abadi said Iraqi forces launched on Thursday an offensive to recapture the last patch of Iraqi territory still in the hands of Daesh, on the border area with Syria, The Daily Mail reported.
"Daesh members have to choose between death and surrender," he said in a statement announcing the offensive on region of al Qaim and Rawa.
The Iraqi air force dropped thousands of leaflets on the border area calling on the militants to surrender and urging the population to stay away from their positions, according to a statement from the Joint Operations Command in Baghdad.
