伊拉克軍隊發動收復費盧傑的攻勢大綱

Iraqi forces have launched a major offensive to retake the Islamic State bastion of Fallujah, ending a months-long siege of the city.

Fallujah was the first city in Iraq to fall to IS extremists in January 2014 and the group is well entrenched.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said Iraqi forces were “approaching a moment of great victory.”

“The Iraqi flag will be raised high over the land of Fallujah,” Abadi declared on national television Sunday night.

Iraq's military has called on residents trapped in the city to mark their locations with white flags.

Very few families have managed to escape the city in the past months despite government attempts to open safe corridors.

Fallujah is a traditional Sunni stronghold.

U.S. airstrikes have been pounding IS targets in and around the city for weeks.伊拉克軍隊結束對費盧傑的數月圍困，發動收復這座伊斯蘭國重鎮的大規模攻勢。

費盧傑2014年1月成爲最先落入伊斯蘭國極端分子手中的城市，伊斯蘭國在那裏根基深厚。

伊拉克總理阿巴迪說，政府軍即將取得一場偉大的勝利。阿巴迪星期天晚上在全國轉播的電視節目中表示，伊拉克的旗幟將在費盧傑高高升起。

伊拉克軍方要求費盧傑的居民用白旗標識自己的所在地點。

儘管伊拉克政府試圖開闢安全走廊，數月來很少有人能逃離費盧傑。

費盧傑傳統上一直是遜尼派的根據地。

數週來，美國一直對費盧傑城內外的伊斯蘭國目標進行空中打擊。
