Iraqi forces Friday launched an assault on the northern town of Hawija, one of the last bastions in the country still held by the ISIL terrorist group, which is also under attack in neighboring Syria.

“A huge military operation has begun to liberate Hawija and its surrounding areas,” the operation’s commander, Lieutenant General Abdel Amir Yarallah, said in a statement.

Iraqi forces launched an offensive to retake the terrorist enclave around Hawija on September 21, swiftly taking the town of Sharqat on its second day before pushing on towards Hawija itself.
