Zaghareed (also: Zigareid, Zagharid, al-Zagharid) is a village in Iraq, which is located in the Al Anbar Governorate north of the city of Fallujah, between the town of Saqlawiyah and the villages of Shiha and Albu Sudayra.[1]
In 2016, during the Siege of Fallujah and Operation Breaking Terrorism, there was intense fighting in the area between the Iraqi army and ISIL militants. On 29 May, Iraqi troops seized a key bridge between Zaghareed and Saqlawiyah in order to facilitate the entry of the security forces from the international highway road into the center of Saqlawiyah.[2]
