| [Rudaw] Iraqi forces have reclaimed a strategic northern area in the ISIS-held city of Ramadi, inflicting heavy damage and casualties on the hard boys, an Iraqi official said. "On Monday, Iraqi counter-terrorism forces managed to reclaim the Qazani complex in northern Ramadi from the Islamic state," said Azal Fahdawi, member of the Anbar provincial council, adding that the facility was of strategic importance to the hard boys. "The complex is strategic due to its proximity to the Anbar operation command; we can now prevent any possible assault by ISIS in the area," media reports quoted Fahdawi as saying. In other military developments against ISIS, official sources from the Anbar police told Rudaw Sunday that Iraqi security forces with the support of tribal militias and US coalition "US coalition warplanes have targeted several ISIS strongholds in the Harrayat district, which resulted in the death of several ISIS hard boys," said sources, who were not identified.
