Operation Beit ol-Moqaddas-2 was an offensive, codenamed Ya-Zahra, that was started by Iran during the Iran–Iraq War. It was commanded by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in the Qomish-Sulaymaniyah axis (in Iraq) on 15 January 1988.

Aftermath

The operation, which was started on cold days in winter to capture the highlands of the west of Maoot city in Iraq, led to the capture of more than 40 hill peaks as well as several villages in the region, including Oral, Golalah, Harmadan, Bein-Dora, Sheikh-Muhammad and Yulan. There does not seem to be any mentioned statistics about the Iranian casualties, but there were high casualties and losses for Iraq, including 5400 killed, wounded, and captured.[1][2][3]
