Government and security authorities in Salah al-Din Governorate have confirmed the continuation of strict security measures and the ban on fishing and civilian entry into Amerli Lake for the eighteenth consecutive month. This decision is part of precautionary measures aimed at protecting citizens' lives, given the complex geographical nature and vast expanse of the area. Despite the apparent security stability in the district, authorities assert that maintaining the ban is a necessary preventive step to thwart the exploitation of remote areas by sleeper cells, emphasizing the importance of civilian compliance with instructions to ensure their safety.
