Dhuluiya offensive was launched on 28 December 2014 by Iraqi forces backed by Sunni tribesmen and Shia militamen on the strategic town of Dhuluiya ((アラビア語:الضلوعية)), which had been held by ISIS for months. On 30 December, the area was recaptured and the ISIS siege on the Sunni al-Juburi tribe was broken. It was part of a bigger campaign to fully clear the Saladin Governorate. ==Background== The town of Dhuluiya (or Dhuluiyah), 50 miles south of Tikrit and 90 kilometres (55 miles) north of Baghdad, is strategically located on roads linking the eastern province of Diyala to Saladin Governorate in the north.〔http://en.newhub.shafaqna.com/NN/96988〕 On July 14, 2014, ISIS took control of part of the town. They bombed government buildings, including a court and local council headquarters, and exploded a bridge leading toward the neighboring town of Balad in an effort to prevent the arrival of reinforcements.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PressTV-Iraq militants seize area near Baghdad )〕 The Jubur (or Jabour or Jubouri) tribe, a Sunni tribe in the south of the town, had been resisting ISIS attacks for nearly six months.〔 In October, Iraqi forces retook most of Dhuluiya, but ISIS later launched a counter-offensive and managed to recapture the ground they had lost.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dhuluiya offensive」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
