Air strikes have killed two fighters from the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) in northern Iraq, according to the PMF. The strikes were carried out in the Nineveh region, where Mosul city is located, and a military airport in Salah al-Din province. The PMF blamed the attack on Israel and the United States. This comes as pro-Iranian armed group Kataib Hezbollah announces a conditional suspension of US embassy attacks for five days. The group also demands Israel cease its bombardment of Beirut.
