Three neighborhoods in a district of Hit, located in the western province of Anbar, were recaptured by the army, Major General Sami Kazim al-Ardi, a commander in the Counter-Terrorist Bureau, told Iraq's al-Sumaria News on Tuesday.

Major General Abdul-Ghani al-Assadi, another commander in the Counter-Terrorist Bureau, announced that the Iraqi forces have thwarted a ISIS attack on Hit city center.

ISIS is on the verge of total defeat in Hit as many of its elements were killed on Monday, the commander added.

On April 4, Iraqi forces entered Hit, located 31 miles (50 kilometers) from Anbar’s capital city of Ramadi. The advance came a week after the beginning of an operation by the army to take full control of the city.

It was the latest in a string of gains by the Iraqi military and allied volunteer fighters against ISIS in the conflict-ridden Arab country.
