Some twenty Daesh (ISIS/ISIL) terrorists were killed in air raids launched by the U.S.-led coalition jets in Ramadi, west of Anbar, a commander said on Thursday.
“The U.S.-led coalition jets shelled the militants gathering in western Ramadi desert killing twenty Daesh rebels,” Major General Mahmoud al-Falahi, commander of Anbar Operations, told AlSumaria News.
Ramadi was recaptured by government and tribal forces from Daesh in December 2015, however, several occasional attacks by the group have occurred since then.
On Wednesday Iraq’s army, police, and Popular Mobilization forces have foiled a push by the Takfiri terrorist group to stage a comeback in Ramadi.
Halaf al-Jalibawi, the head of the popular forces in the sprawling province, said the terrorists had launched the attack from Ramadi’s Attaash area, which they already had under control, Iraq’s al-Sumariah news network reported. He said the combined forces not only foiled the offensive but also managed to fully liberate Attaash.
The terrorists had used 20 vehicles to launch a strike against the so-called Five Kilo, Seven Kilo, and al-Jame’eh areas in western Ramadi.
The Iraqi forces forced the Daeshi terrorists out of all those areas.
