The Guidance and Support Committee has provided volunteers from the Popular Mobilization Forces in the Iraqi-Syrian border and the surrounding areas with the necessary logistical and moral assistance, which is suitable for these cold weather conditions, as well as conveying the greetings and prayers of the supreme religious authority for them, and his recommendations to them to sustain the momentum of the victory achieved against the terrorist ISIL gangs, and work to abort any desperate attempt to destabilize security and stability in these regions.
