Falluja: Iraqi army in direct assault against Islamic state group using civilians as human shields.
Shi'ite militias fighting alongside the Iraqi army halt their advance on Falluja after encountering stiff Islamic State resistance (no reporter narration).
Iraqi special forces entered Fallujah Monday, according to a local commander, marking a new phase in the military operation to recapture the western Iraqi city that has been the bastion of the Islamic State group since 2014.
Iraqi forces pushed towards Islamic State group bastion Fallujah on Wednesday from areas to the south as part of operations to retake the city from jihadists, a commander said.
