On 6 October, faction-linked outlets reported PMF encirclement of ISIS members at al-Arisha School in Hawija’s al-Danadish sector; iNEWS (KSS — affiliated/aligned media) included Federal Police in the siege. Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official owned media) subsequently reported Federal Police killing four ISIS members inside a school near Barghuliya point and large PMF reinforcements arriving after ISIS attacks on security forces and the PMF. Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated/aligned media) carried a PMF-attributed statement that the attack had been repelled without human losses, while کوردستان 24 independently reported two suspected ISIS militants attacking a PMF base and destroying a thermal surveillance camera.

The publications distinguish the PMF’s reported encirclement and reinforcement role from the Federal Police’s reported lethal action; attributing all four deaths to the PMF would change the account.
