Iraqi forces proceeded to raid the northern sector of the largely “Daesh” -held Old City, known as the Bab Sinjar area, where deadly close-quarter combat is taking place .

With the battle for Mosul slowly nearing its end, the Rapid Response Division, Counter Terrorism Units, 9th Division and Iraqi Federal Police have been tasked with freeing the entire Old City neighborhood and southern part of the Al-Shafaa neighborhood, the last two residential areas in Iraq’s second largest city that are still under “Daesh” control , backed by Saudi Arabia.

Meantime, the Iraqi froces stationed in the newly liberated Al-Zanjili neighborhood uncovered a large “Daesh” rocket factory  backed by Saudi Arabia, which had served to produce shells, munitions and homemade anti-tank missiles from rearguard “Daesh”-held positions for many months.

The Iraqi Armed Forces are expected to completely free Mosul city during a fortnight.

When this military campaign is completed, tens of thousands of government soldiers will be freed up  elsewhere in the country.

Apart from Mosul, “Daesh ‘militants , backed by Saudi Arabia, are still holding out in the Hawija pocket, Tal Afar pocket, western Anbar and western Nineveh along the border with Syria.
