Hashd Shaabi, Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF/PMU)
An Iraqi Shi'ite Muslim cleric-fighter from the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF/PMU) walks through the area as smoke rises from strongholds of ISIS militants during the battle to liberate Tal Afar Airport in western Mosul on November 16, 2016. The Popular Mobilization Forces, also known as Hashd al-Shaabi, are Iran-aligned militias in Iraq and have been involved in regional tensions, including being targeted in airstrikes during a U.S.-Israeli military campaign.
