Alwaght- Iraqi forces have managed to liberate six neighborhoods in the ISIS-held Mosul during their operation to recapture the city.
The units of Iraqi army continued with their comprehensive operation to liberate the northern city of Mosul from ISIS domination and made terrorists withdraw from eastern parts of the city.
Iraqi counter-terrorism forces recaptured the districts of Al-Malayin, Al-Samah, Al-Khazra, Kirkukli, Al-Quds and Al-Karama, Abdulamir Rashid Yarullah, head of the army’s Nineveh Operations Command said on Friday.
In a statement published on Friday, the commander noted that Iraqi national flags had been raised over government buildings in recaptured areas.
Late Thursday, Iraq’s Defense Ministry announced that, over the course of the last four days, 125 ISIS terrorists have been killed and 24 villages and areas in Nineveh province -- of which Mosul is the regional capital -- had been wrested from the terrorist group.
On October 17, the Iraqi army launched a wide-ranging operation aimed at retaking Mosul, which ISIS group overran in mid-2014.
