We’re following up on a major battle going on right now in a city of northern Iraq. On one side, international forces led by the Iraqi military and supported by U.S. troops. On the other, (5)ISIS terrorists who took over the city of Mosul in 2014. This is ISIS’s last stronghold in Iraq, and a defeat there would be a major setback for the terrorists, though they still have territory in other parts of Iraq and in Syria.
Iraqi-led troops are fighting ISIS on the streets, in neighborhoods. (6)They’re facing hidden explosives and car bombs. Thousands of civilians from Mosul and its surrounding towns are caught in a crossfire. (7)Some of them are forced to stay through the ISIS occupation. Some of them are used by ISIS as human shields.
