Iraqi forces are about to launch an offensive to recapture the last patch of Iraq's territory which is still in the hands of the Daesh terrorist group, the Iraqi army said Wednesday.

Iraqi Air Force fighters dropped hundreds of thousands of leaflets on Al Qaim and Rawa in western Anbar, warning citizens not to approach Daesh positions in the area.

Al Qaim lies closer to the Syria border and just across from Deir Ezzor province where Daesh extremists are facing separate offensives from US-led Arab-Kurdish forces and government troops backed by Russia.
