Thanks Ahmad, I think يزيل الألغام is what is meant. You are right since "demine is derived from "mine" لغم
Thanks once again.

"taThiir al-alghaam" from Arabic manual on mine warfare operations


Explanation:
Greetings.

A field manual on "mine warfare operations" from one of the Arab League armies give the term for the overall act of searching, finding, making safe and clearing/removal of mines (which equates, inter alia, to 'de-mining') as

"taThiir al-alghaam"

Arabic script (if your PC supports that):


تطهير الالغام
