Dour has fell militarily, all routes closed with infantry surrounding the town. the Chalam Al dour and the dour residence is under iraqi control. Currently iraqi forced are going house to house in Dour to look for remaining IS elements and remove IED's.
Latest movement of PMF near Dour...
Extremely close call for PMF and ISF. Suicide bomber in armored vehicle is shot by Abrams tanks just tens of meters away from his intended target. Luckily the houses and armored vehicles in the area stayed intact.
IS depending almost entirely on suicide bombers in the latest operations.
The thing is for the majority of non-Iraqi Arabs/muslims see any iraq sunni who stands against IS or is part of the government in one way or another as a traitor to his "sunnism".
I'm guessing it's easy saying that sitting in safely at their comfortable homes. Meanwhile we have over two...
It's pretty funny, Mishan al Jiburi was once one of the most active opposition members, he exposed and insulted the iraqi government day and night. Meanwhile Ali Hatim allied with Malikis bloc during the elections.
Yet here we are, Ali Hatem sits in Arbil barking against the government while...
Lol the number of Iranians killed in Iraq is no more than a dozen. The images your showing are of Iranian KIA's from the Iran-Iraq war. Every now and then new bodies are found/ transfered for burial between the two countries.
Other victims were Iranian pilgrims, iranian pipeline workers...
Entire of iraq is one big militia right now, there is no one against these groups as they are made up of Iraqis fighting for their country. They have the support of the entire anti-IS population with the exception of the hotel revolutionaries.
As for comparing them to JAM, that's ludicrous. We...
Iraq is a Shia majority country, these "Shia militias" are the official forces of the Iraqi people. Are we supposed to import people from China in order to stop being secterian. :lol:. The thing is any Sunni in Iraq that takes part in the government or joins against daesh is automatically seen...
It's better to squeeze them into a single neighbirhood to create minimum damage. Don't forget many of the IS families are with them, they will eventually raise the white flags and surrender just like they did in Farsiyah if their families are in danger. Then we could let the women and children...
I already explained the area of operation, it's entire northern Babel and going into Anbar, check my previous reply it probably got buried in the past pages. It's a series of villages and towns stretching over 60KM with a complicated landscape and a nearly 100% pro-IS population.
Anyways some...
5th mechanized division and PMF forces advance 60km to the outskirts of Alem, liberating over a dozen villages on the way. IS has burnt two small oil pumping stations to prevent the army aviation from attacking their positions.
IS has been depending largely on suicide bombings. Over 15...
I called BS when I saw the title. 27k mosques is probably all the mosques in Cairo and surrounding areas.
I'm guessing they mean private meeting places where youths go learn about killing the "murtad" egyption security forces or going to jihad with IS in Syria and Iraq. Or perhaps helping...
Jurf al sahkr isn't one town. The way regions work in Iraq is here province. "Qadha", and then the qadha is seperated into "nahiyah". The nahia has main town and includes the villages around it.
Jurf al sakhr was a qadha and the main town and largest town was jurf Al sahkr (the rocky stream)...
Apparently the news of the IS reinforcements in Tirkit is false. Old propaganda being recycled.
-----
Meanwhile the PMF are currently 2km away from Dour district and 5KM away from Alem. PMF are also really close to Albu Ajeel with more reinforcments arriving to encircle the towns and cover...
It's pretty complicated. The battle of Tikrit is symbolic and will determine the outcome of all the other battles.
The plan is to corner IS fighters and rain hell on them, but it's a complicated battle and needs time. IS probably has at least 100 suicide bombers planned for Tikrit.
The areas of operation are not besieged.
Recently a large convoy of 350+ IS members came from Hawija/Mosul to Tikrit.
The northern and southern fronts are not secured.
PMF advanced nearly 60KM and managed to secure the eastern front from Diyala up to the outskirts of Alem.
The northern...
