Source: 10 Key Areas Recaptured from ISIL in Anbar
The Iraqi army continued to make gains in its fight
against the ISIL in the Western Anbar province, retaking ten key areas
from the Takfiri group, a military source said.
Iraq’s
Ministry of Defense issued a statement on Tuesday, saying the army
troops backed by volunteer forces inflicted major losses on the ISIL in
the town of al-Karma, West of Baghdad, and recaptured ten strategic
areas from the terrorist group.
The statement added the areas of al-Hamrah,
Ma’sekar, Aboudlaf, Albu Aabbas, al-Malali and Jazirah were among the
districts cleared of the terrorists in the operations.
The retaking of the districts has effectively cut
off ISIL’s supply lines into Ramadi, the capital of Anbar, which is
currently under the control of the militants, it further added.
The latest development came after the Iraqi army liberated the strategic town of Nazim Tharthar North of Anbar province.
According to the latest reports, the Iraqi army is now heading towards Nazim Taqsim town, 20 kilometers from Ramadi.
Hadi al-Ameri, the secretary general of Iraq’s
Badr Organization, said, “Iraqi fighters are currently 500 meters from
the town and they will keep closing in as soon as a bridge damaged by
the terrorist is repaired.”
The ISIL Takfiri terrorists currently control
shrinking swathes of Syria and Iraq. They have threatened all
communities, including Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Ezadi Kurds
and others, as they continue their atrocities in Iraq.
Senior Iraqi officials have blamed Saudi Arabia,
Qatar, and some Persian Gulf Arab states for the growing terrorism in
their country.
ISIL has links with Saudi intelligence and is believed to be indirectly supported by the Israeli regime.
EXCLUSIVE: Syrian Air Raids Kill over 50 Terrorists in Idlib
More than 50 terrorists, including 7 high-profile
commanders, were killed after Syrian warplanes targeted al-Nusra Front
positions in Idlib.
According
to reports by FNA dispatches, the Syrian fighter jets launched their
heaviest air raids yet on al-Nusra targets in the Northwestern province
of Idlib on Monday, leaving more than 50 militants dead and 115 others
seriously injured.
The reports also said that at least seven senior
commanders of the terrorist group were also killed in the strikes,
adding that Osame Ben Torki and Seyfeddin Torkestani were among the dead
ringleaders.
On June 7, the army troops took back three
villages almost two kilometers (one mile) South of Hasakah after driving
out the al-Nusra terrorists.
Syrian forces, backed by volunteer forces, also
stymied an attempt by the terrorist to infiltrate a village in
Northeastern Hasakah.
Earlier in the day, the Syrian soldiers stormed
the ISIL hideouts in the Northern and Eastern countryside of Aleppo and
Homs, forestalling the terror group for launching further attacks
against the Arab country.
Elsewhere in Syria, the Takfiri groups suffered
major losses in the areas of al-Salamiyah, Umm Taweenah, Zanouba, and
Rasm Al-Qadisiyah, after the army troops made gains in their battle
against the ISIL terrorists in Eastern Hama.
Also, more than 200 ISIL terrorists participated
in a major operation in an attempt to take over Deir Ezzur’s military
airport on Sunday, but the Syrian troops managed to drive them out,
forcing them to flee the battlefield.
At Least 15,000 Fresh Volunteers Join Iraqi Shiite Militia to Counter ISIL
Some 15,000 residents of Southern Iraq have joined
the Shiite militia Hashd al-Shaabi to fight against the ISIL terrorist
group in the country, a local security official told media Tuesday.
“At
least 15,000 volunteers from the Dhiqar province and the capital city
of Naseriah have joined the Hashed al-Shaabi gunmen and will take up
arms against the ISIL,” Naman Ibrahimi, a representative of the
province’s security committee said, as quoted by the Kurdish media group
Rudaw.
Hashed al-Shaabi, or Popular Mobilization Units,
is an Iraqi state-sponsored umbrella organization composed of several,
almost exclusively, Shiite militias with up to 100,000 members.
The ISIL group seized large parts of Iraq and
Syria in 2014. On May 17, the ISIL took control of Ramadi, the capital
of ISIL-dominated Western Anbar governorate, some 70 miles West of
Baghdad.
Hashed al-Shaabi militiamen, along with the Iraqi
Army and police, took part in the fight for Ramadi. The militia was also
deployed in Baghdad to protect the Iraqi capital from a possible ISIL
offensive.
