Exclusive: ISIS' remaining areas in Mosul explained on Map



An updated version of Mosul's map showing the latest developments in the battle to oust ISIS from the Old City in Mosul's right bank has been obtained by The Baghdad Post.


The areas in green illustrate the completely regained ones, areas in orange show the areas currently controlled by ISIS terrorist group, witnessing clashes with the Iraqi forces.




On Saturday, Iraqi forces killed 100 ISIS terrorists in the last two days, Federal Police Commander Raed Shakir Jawdat said in a statement.


Iraqi federal police have taken control of the northern parts of al-Shifaa district, reports said.


Counter Terror Service (CTS) said the coming battles with the terror group will be costly, saying the remaining recruits are mostly foreigners, and they will fight until the last breath.

Security forces, backed by International Coalition air raids and logistic support of the US army, have retaken eastern Mosul and most of its western part after eight months of battles. These forces are focusing now on liberating Old City's districts that are still under ISIS control.

It is estimated that there are a few of ISIS terrorists left in the second largest city of Iraq. It is expected that they will desperately defend the last pocket of the city that has been once their main stronghold in Iraq.
