Iraqi security forces have entered the last remaining ISIL stronghold in the east of the central city of Ramadi, security sources said.
Security forces are now in the centre of Hussaibah village and moving to other parts of the strategic settlement, which links a major army base to other villages recently captured from the armed group, security sources told Al Jazeera on Tuesday.
The Iraqi flag was raised in the centre of the village on Tuesday, the sources added.
ISIL fighters still have pockets of fighters to the north of the city and Iraqi officials are wary that they will continue to launch deadly counter attacks.
