IS human shield fears

The Iraqi army entered Islamic State-held Fallujah in a major dawn offensive yesterday as it made its "final push" to recapture the city from the terrorist jihadists. Troops managed to push into Fallujah's urban areas for the first time since the operation began a week ago.With the help of an Iran-backed Shia militia and air support from the US-led coalition, the army said it had control of 80% of the villages around Fallujah and was now focused on retaking the city itself.
