Jawdat told the Sputnik that “the storm of Fallujah city center will take place within two or three days, after the security forces and Hashd al-Shaabi finish to liberate its surrounding territories.” The Iraqi army on Saturday declared the liberation of Falahat and Sabihat districts on the western Fallujah suburb in the most recent offensive by the Iraqi forces.
