The Iraqi forces killed 75 of over 100 ISIL invaders who raided their recently captured positions in al-Naimiyah region in the Southern part of Fallujah, Commander of Fallujah Operation Major General Abdelwahab al-Saedi announced on Tuesday.

The Iraqi forces are continuing their advances towards the center of Fallujah city, he added.

The Iraqi forces maintained full control over al-Shihah region and are now clashing with the ISIL terrorists in al-Saqlawiyah town to the West of Fallujah city.

An estimated 600-1,000 ISIL (Daesh) terrorists with the exception of their allied tribal fighters are stationed in the Fallujah city.

The Iraqi government troops entered the Jolan neighborhood as they gained control over al-Saqlawiyah region.

Meantime, the Iraqi army seized back al-Niamiyah region to the South of Fallujah.

The Iraqi forces have besieged Fallujah from four directions and the ISIL can only escape through al-Zawiyah region.
