British Defense Minister: Royal Air Force hit more than 700 targets to liberate Mosul

British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon said Wednesday that the terrorist organization was facing "the end of the game" in the city of Mosul.

Fallon pointed out that the Royal Air Force hit more than 700 targets, in support of the military operation carried out by the Iraqi forces to liberate Mosul, stressing that the organization loses its positions in its stronghold in the Syrian city of Raqqa.

He said British forces had hit 69 targets in support of the Kurdish Democratic Forces Alliance in al-Raqqa, where there is "irreversible momentum and progress." Britain is also launching cyber attacks against the "Dahesh."

The comments come before the meeting of the British Defense Secretary, NATO is expected to confirm the sending of 85 military to Afghanistan, where there are already 500 British soldiers.

"Protecting Afghanistan from becoming a safe haven for cross-border terrorists helps secure our streets," Fallon said. "For this reason, we are intensifying our support for the Afghan government and its defense forces to help them extend security and develop their armed forces," he said.

In turn, the British Ministry of Defense said the Kingdom's commitment to the training of Afghans is part of an international effort to combat terrorism and establish stability.

In the meantime, the Iraqi army regained, yesterday, the regions of the gentlemen and Ahmadiyya from the organization of a preacher in the old city of Mosul. The organization still controls the land of the Nuri al-Kabir mosque and about half of the old city, its last stronghold in Mosul.

The international coalition led by the United States of America provides air and ground cover for the eight-month-old campaign.
