Iraqi Army Liberates Zalaya, Mekeshafa Areas in Salahuddin Province

The Iraqi Army and populace forces, in a series of operations, targeted the ISIL terrorists’ strongholds in Salahuddin province and liberated Zalaya and Mekeshafa areas form the terrorists’ occupation, an informed source said.
”The Iraqi army supported by the volunteer forces targeted defensive lines of the terrorists of ISIL, and liberated Zalaya area and most of Mekeshafa and reopened the roads that link these areas to Tikrit and Samarra cities,” the source said.
