Iraqi armed forces continue offensives against the Islamic State in the northern Nineveh province. A military statement described this as the first stage of an operation aimed at liberating the city of Mosul.
伊拉克軍隊(duì)持續(xù)對(duì)在北部尼尼微省的‘伊斯蘭國(guó)’發(fā)起攻擊。一份軍事聲明中稱這是為解放摩蘇爾市而采取的第一階段的作戰(zhàn)行動(dòng)。
Nicknamed the "Fatah Operation", the assault was launched on Thursday from the Makhmur area. Military experts say the operation will last months, and Iraqi officials say they will retake Mosul, the capital of Nineveh, by this year. The province lies northwest of Iraq, bordering Syria. Mosul, taken over by ISIL in June 2014, has become the headquarters of the group.
周二襲擊行動(dòng)在Makhmur地區(qū)發(fā)起,行動(dòng)綽號(hào)為“法塔赫行動(dòng)”。軍事專家稱這場(chǎng)行動(dòng)將持續(xù)數(shù)月。伊拉克官方人士表示,他們將在今年年底收回尼尼微省會(huì)摩蘇爾。該省地處伊拉克西北邊境,與敘利亞接壤。摩蘇爾在2014年6月被伊斯蘭國(guó)占領(lǐng),被稱為該組織的總部。

Experts say Iraqi military forces have made great success in the past six months.
專家稱伊拉克軍隊(duì)在過(guò)去的六個(gè)月內(nèi)已經(jīng)取得了重大成績(jī)。
