Iraqi Army Kills Several ISIL Terrorists in Jurf Al-Sakher

Iraqi troops repulsed an attack by ISIL terrorists in Hilla city, leaving several of them dead.

The army soldiers, backed by volunteer fighters, repelled an attack by the Takfiri terrorists in Fadhiliya area in Jurf al-Sakher district, and killed 12 terrorists.

The crisis in Iraq escalated after the ISIL militants took control of Mosul in a lightning advance on June 10, which was followed by the fall of Tikrit, located 140 kilometers (87 miles) Northwest of the capital, Baghdad.

Soldiers of the Iraqi army and Pishmarga have been engaged in heavy fighting with the militants on different fronts and have so far been able to push them back in several areas.

They have been carrying out horrific acts of violence, including public decapitations and crucifixions, against all Iraqi communities such as Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Ezadi Kurds and others.

The West and its regional allies, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, are giving financial and military support to the militants.
