An Iraqi Shi'ite Muslim fighter from the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF/PMU) lies on a hill as smoke rises from positions held by ISIS militants during the battle to liberate Tal Afar in western Mosul on November 18, 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.
