After liberating around 65 kilometers of Salaheddin province in two days, now Iraqi forces are preparing for an attack on Alam area from three different directions.

So far Iraqi forces advanced in the eastern axis more than 13 kilometers to the east of Tikrit from the Qosaybah area, killing some 21 militants, and bombing ISIL hideouts.

This comes as in the Southern Axis, forces advanced to the area of Zalaya after dismantling explosive devices set on the roads to block their advancement.

With this progress in the battles in several towns and villages near Tikrit, Iraqi forces have reached the outskirts of the city from all sides.

Joint Iraqi forces continued their offensive against ISIL militants from three directions to free large areas in Salahuddin.

This line behind me separates the ISIL militants and us. Now the Iraqi forces are going to start the attack from this point, they are going to head north towards ISIL militants and start the attack on Alam area.

To this end, army units and the popular committees are currently heading towards the Alam area to participate in the liberation operations from the North and south.

The Iraqi forces had laid siege on Albu Ajil area in the east of the city of Tikrit, and found out a prevailing state of chaos and panic among the terrorists in the areas of Alam and Albu-Ajeel after the liberation of the city of Dour.
