In his message released on Friday, Qasemi pointed to Defenders of Holy Shrine attempts in fighting takfiri terrorists Daesh as creating peace and security on borders.

Following a US strike against the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al-Shaabi), Daesh used the opportunity to attack the Syrian troops deployed in the borders with Iraq in which Mohsen Hojjaji, an Iranian military advisor was taken hostage by the terrorist group elements and beheaded later on camera.

'Such crime which has happened for several times against the Sunni and Shia Muslims in the region will only increase the awareness and unity of Muslim people against the sinister phenomenon [of terrorism],' Brigadier General Soleimani noted.
