dislodge#2
イラクがISISに掌握されているチクルート奪還に向けて動き出しました。イラク軍はISIS兵に対して，「今がISISを脱退する最後のチャンスであると」述べ，投降を呼びかけております。記事の中で気になった単語は"dislodge"です。『Wisdom英和辞典第三版』（三省堂）を調べると「を移動させる，取り除く，追い払う」などという意味がありました。ODには"Knock or force out of position"と定義されております。「追い出す」というイメージですね。"lodge"には「宿泊させる」という意味がありますが，「否定」を示す"dis"が接頭語になると，このような意味になります。（Ume）
Iraq moves against Islamic State in Tikrit
Iraq has launched a military operation to recapture Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit from Islamic State (IS), Iraqi TV says.
Local media reported that forces were attacking the city, backed by airstrikes from Iraqi fighter jets.
Tikrit lies 150km (95 miles) north of the capital Baghdad and was seized by IS militants in June 2014.
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi met military leaders in Salahuddin province ahead of the advance.
He offered to pardon all Sunni tribal fighters who abandoned IS, describing it as a "last chance".
Major offensive
Al-Iraqiya TV said that IS militants had been dislodged from some areas outside Tikrit but this has not been confirmed.
It added that Iraqi police and militiamen from the Popular Mobilization Forces were advancing into Tikrit as airstrikes hit IS strongholds.
The BBC's Ahmed Maher in Iraq says that government forces say they are 5km away from the heart of the city, but this has not been confirmed from independent sources.
Our correspondent says that regaining control of Tikrit would be a boost to government forces ahead of the larger battle for the recapture of the city of Mosul, which is also controlled by IS.
