(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Iraqi army repelled an ISIS' attack on the western city of Hit, killing 40 militants, Iraqi army forces’ chief of Anbar province Kasem Mohammadi said Sunday.
Iraqi troops launched a large-scale offensive against ISIS militants last summer. In December 2015, they drove Islamists out of the Anbar provincial capital Ramadi, and then recaptured ISIS' stronghold in Fallujah.
"ISIS attacked the town of Hit, shelled the area with rockets, mines and other weapons. Coalition's aircraft, national air force and artillery repelled the attack, killing 40 Daesh militants," Mohammadi told Al Sumaria broadcaster.
