According to the Reuters news agency, 30,000 Iraqi and Kurdish military, supported by the US Special Forces and the US-led coalition’s Air Force, are on the offensive on the IS capital in Iraq.
IS terrorists not only defend themselves, but also counter-attack: several days ago, they attacked the cities of Kirkuk and Ar-Rutbah near the Syrian border. The al-Amaq news agency regularly publishes photos and videos of fights, as well as shows allegedly normal peaceful life in the city of Mosul.
Earlier this week, the Iraqi Joint Operations Command (JOC) reported that some 772 IS terrorists have been killed, while 23 others have been arrested, since the beginning of the operation on liberation of Mosul.
