▶ Iraqi troops continue operations to recapture Tikrit – YouTube
Iraqi Troops were seen engaging targets with machine guns and a rocket
launcher. The army, earlier killed 67 ISIL Takfiri terrorists in
separate operations in the cities of Tikrit and Ramadi. The operations
for the complete liberation of Tikrit have resumed after a ten-day pause
to let civilians leave the city. Tikrit was seized by the ISIL in June
last year. The city’s recapture is crucial for the Iraqi army in its
quest to retake control of the country’s second-largest city, Mosul,
north of Baghdad.
