The sides discussed the necessary coordination for the upcoming operation to liberate the Iraqi cities of Al-Qa’im and Rawa still remaining under ISIS control.
Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis a head of the PMU military operations also visited region few days ago.
Meanwhile, the Iraqi Air Force has already launched a bombing campaign against ISIS in the border area with Syria.
If the army and the PMU launches a military operation to retake al-Qaim and Rawa from ISIS, the Syrain Arab Army (SAA) and its allies will gain additional options to combat ISIS on another side of the border.
