It is rounded off from the Arabic phrase "surre men rea". it means something like "whoever sees it will be happy". in honor of the city. Of course, this name is getting pretty ironic nowadays, who would be happy to see it?

samarra

The city, which started on the morning of 16.03.2006, was the target area of the military operation called "swarmer", in which 200 vehicles, more than 50 helicopters, 1500 soldiers participated. The Americans announced that the operation would take a few days, as the area had to be "very well" scanned. I'm afraid it's the second felluce.
