Coalition forces have begun attacks in Iraq to free western Anbar and Huwayjah from the control of ISIS terrorists. These are the last two areas in the country where ISIS still holds power.

On the morning of Sept. 21, Iraqi security forces began “major combat operations” in Huwayjah, according to a Department of Defense (DOD) press release. ISIS had seized control of the city in early 2014, but it was isolated during the battle in Mosul.
