Alwaght- ISIS terrorists’ snipers target civilians in Fallujah of Iraq, not allowing them escape from the humanitarian corridors established by Iraqi security forces.
Sniper shooters of ISIS terrorists prevent dwellers of Fallujah, located roughly 69 kilometers west of the capital, Baghdad, from escaping the city amid acute shortage of basic commodities and medicine.
Colonel Steve Warren, the spokesman for the so-called anti-ISIS forces on Friday said: “We know that the Iraqis have attempted on several occasions to open up humanitarian corridors to allow some of those civilians to come out.”
“Those have met with generally not much success. ISIL (ISIS) has done things like set up snipers to cover down on those corridors, to kill people as they’re trying to get out. So that has really discouraged their use,” he added.
The US is aware of the humanitarian disaster which is happening in Iraq and Syria but there have not seen a serious effort by Washington in fighting against terrorism in the region.
On Friday the Hezbollah Secretary General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, noted that the US and its regional allies created the Takfiri gangs to “destroy what has remained of the spirit of resistance in our peoples, governments and movements.”
Thousands of Europeans and Americans have travelled to Syria to join ISIS terrorist group. Early February Europol revealed that five-thousand citizens from the EU have traveled to Syria and Iraq to join the Takfiri terrorist group. Over 500 US citizens are believed to have travelled to Iraq and Syria to join ISIS terrorist group.
Fallujah became the focus of the anti-ISIS battle after Iraqis liberated Anbar’s provincial capital of Ramadi in December 2015.
The Iraqi military says control over Fallujah could pave the way for a final push to flush the terrorists out of the major city of Mosul, the capital of Nineveh Province, which was overtaken by ISIS Takfiri terrorists in the summer of 2014.
