Iraq army recaptures town near Baghdad from ISIL
[Iran Press TV] The Iraqi army says its forces, backed by Shia volunteers, have recaptured the town of Jurf al-Sakhr, southwest of Baghdad, from the ISIL bully boys.

Located nearly 60 kilometers away from Baghdad, Jurf al-Sakhr sits on a major road linking the capital to oil-rich provinces in the south.

Earlier, over 40 bad boyz were potted in fierce festivities with Iraqi soldiers in the Dwailiba district south of Baghdad. The army troops also sized a large cache of ammunition from the bully boys.

On Thursday, the Iraqi army, which has been fighting the terrorist group for nearly six months now, engaged the Takfiri

Death Eaters south of the city of Tikrit in Salah al-Din Province, killing at least 20 terrorists.

The Iraqi army has also continued to advance in the eastern Diyala Province, regaining strategic parts of the province used by the Death Eaters as launch pads for attacks against the Iraqi forces.

In a separate incident, 134 ISIL Death Eaters along with a big shot of the terrorist group were killed in Arclight airstrikes by the anti-ISIL coalition led by the US in the city of Baiji, which is located in Salah al-Din Province.

The US-led coalition has been conducting Arclight airstrikes on ISIL positions across Iraq, but the air raids have so far failed to dislodge the terrorists.

The Iraqi troops have pledged to make more gains in the coming weeks.
