Since the start of the week, fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) make gains in Anbar province as Iraqi army forces have retreated, most notably from the town of Hit, which ISIL now fully controls.

This means that ISIL is now in parts of Ramadi and Fallujah, the two main cities of Anbar, and that they control Kubasia and Haditha. If the fighters take the town of Ameriya, then Anbar will effectively be theirs.
