伊拉克政府軍攻佔ISIS重要據點
Iraqi forces on Sunday captured a government complex in central Ramadi, a predominantly Sunni city, forcing the withdrawal of Isis fighters.
伊拉克政府軍週日攻佔了遜尼派(Sunni)占人口多數的拉馬迪市中心一個政府大院，迫使“伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯蘭國”(ISIS)作戰人員撤離。
The complex has been an Isis stronghold and its fall to government forces comes weeks after soldiers encircled the site and marked a significant victory that could pave the way to the recapture of the city, analysts said.
分析人士表示，這個大院一直是ISIS的據點，它在被政府軍包圍數週之後終於落入政府軍手中，這標誌着一個重大勝利，可能爲奪回拉馬迪市鋪平道路。
State television broadcast footage of troops, Humvee vehicles and tanks advancing through Ramadi streets amid piles of rubble and collapsed houses. Some districts appeared to have been completely destroyed by the advance.
官方電視臺播出的視頻畫面顯示，步兵、悍馬車和坦克在拉馬迪街道成堆的瓦礫和倒塌房屋之間向前推進。部分地段似乎已被這場攻勢完全破壞。
The city, the capital of Anbar province to the west of Baghdad, fell under Isis control in May after government troops fled in a defeat that prompted Washington to rethink its strategy against the militants.
拉馬迪是巴格達以西的安巴爾省的省會，它在今年5月政府軍潰敗逃離後落入ISIS手中，那次潰敗促使美國政府反思其針對ISIS武裝分子的戰略。
Iraqi sources told the Financial Times that the latest operation by Iraqi forces — which included counter-terrorism forces and different army divisions — marks a success for the government and could pave the way to the eventual fall of Ramadi.
伊拉克消息人士向英國《金融時報》表示，伊拉克軍隊（包括反恐部隊和來自幾個陸軍師的部隊）發起的最新戰役標誌着政府取得一個成功，並可能爲最終奪回拉馬迪鋪平道路。
“The Iraqi forces entered the complex a few hours ago and did not face any opposition from Isis. This shows that Isis withdrew to the north-east of Ramadi,” said Sajad Jiyad, an Iraq analyst.
伊拉克分析人士薩賈德吉亞德(Sajad Jiyad)表示：“伊拉克部隊在幾小時攻入這個大院，並未遭遇ISIS任何抵抗。這表明ISIS已撤至拉馬迪東北部。”
“This is of course considered an achievement for the Iraqi forces given that there had been questions as to whether the forces, Iraqi police and army, can take control of the situation through ground operations and resist Isis,” Mr Jiyad added.
吉亞德補充說：“考慮到此前人們質疑由伊拉克警方和軍方組成的武裝力量能否通過地面作戰控制局面並抵抗ISIS，這次勝利無疑被認爲是伊拉克部隊的一大成就。”
