Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina's channel presents Major General Tahseen al-Khafaji as adopting the case of personnel whose contracts were annulled

WHAT HAPPENED

At 23:02 on 25 July 2026, Al-Janoub TV, Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina's official owned media, posted: "المفسوخة عقودهم.. اللواء تحسين الخفاجي متبني قضيتنا بالعودة وفق الضوابط" ("Those whose contracts were annulled — Major General Tahseen al-Khafaji has adopted our cause of return in accordance with the regulations"). The caption was tagged to Baghdad and to the channel's "Solutions Centre" segment, and is written in the voice of the affected personnel ("our cause"). No supplied evidence contains a statement from al-Khafaji himself, from the Ministry of Defence, or from the Popular Mobilization Forces on this matter, and no other tracked actor was observed carrying the item.

WHY IT MATTERS

Establishing named senior security-service patrons for personnel files is how factions convert media reach into hiring and reinstatement leverage inside the Iraqi security apparatus, which matters more for durable influence than any single statement.
