BEIRUT, LEBANON (5:05 P.M.) – The Iraqi Armed Forces have liberated the Islamic State (ISIS) stronghold of Al-Rumanah, today, after a short battle in the western countryside of the Al-Anbar Governorate.

Led by the army and Hashd Al-Sha’abi (Popular Mobilization Units), the Iraqi Armed Forces were able to overpower the Islamic State terrorists Al-Rumanah this afternoon, seizing the imperative bridge prior to liberating the entire town.

With Al-Rumanah liberated, the Iraqi Armed Forces will shift their attention to the last Islamic State stronghold, Al-Rawa, which is located east of Al-Qa’im.

Once Al-Rawa is freed from the terrorist group, the integral Baghdad Highway will be cleared for the first time since the Islamic State began their operations in Iraq.

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

  • Name-calling
  • Ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
  • Knee-jerk contradiction

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
