Ramadi update: Dramatic footage of Iraqi security forces clearing a house

  • 9 years ago
RAMADI, IRAQ — The media channel of a Shia militia in Ramadi, Iraq has released a video showing Iraqi security forces clearing a house from bottom to top.

Yesterday we brought you the news of Iraqi forces raising their flag over the central government building in Ramadi.

The city fell to ISIS in May, but after weeks of intense fighting, the Iraqi government has recaptured the city. However, the city still needs to be cleared of retreating ISIS fighters. This dramatic video from the frontlines of Ramadi shows Iraqi forces going door to door to secure the city.

The next step in the fight to reclaim ISIS-held territories is already in the works. Air strikes lead the way in Fallujah and Mosul. Iraqi security forces are in position around Fallujah, a city that is more densely populated than Ramadi.

ISIS has controlled Fallujah longer than it held the capital city of Anbar province so pushing the terrorists out of there may be more difficult than the battle for Ramadi.
