Local media reports said the military, backed by fighters from the popular units, attacked the terrorists from three directions and recaptured the town.

The Takfiri terrorists in and around Bashir were dealt a major blow.

Iraqi forces also regained control of the nearby village of Mo’amareh, according to media reports.

Earlier in the day, security sources told local media that Iraqi forces had gained full control of the villages of Khazraj and Nowaiem, west of the capital, Baghdad, after fierce fighting with Daesh terrorists.

Iraqi troops inflicted heavy losses on the militants in that area.

In recent months, Iraqi forces have been able to regain control over much of the territories that had been under the control of Daesh.

Daesh took over parts of northern and western Iraq, including the major city of Mosul, in June 2014.

The militants have been committing brutal crimes against all ethnic and religious communities in Iraq, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians and others.

Iraqi government forces and fighters from the Popular Mobilization Units are currently engaged in operations to liberate the militant-held regions.
