The struggle to recapture Mosul enters day 35, with clashes between advancing Iraqi forces and ISIS militants in the city’s Intisar and Aden neighborhoods continuing on Sunday, Rudaw reported.
House-to-house searches have been conducted as troops hunt for remaining militants and explosives in liberated quarters.
The Iraqi Counterterrorism Forces (ICTF) had reached the edges of al-Qahira and al-Zuhur neighborhoods in northeastern Mosul by Sunday morning, Lieutenant General Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi, a commander of the forces, told Rudaw. He added that coalition airstrikes had also killed 15 ISIS militants.
The quarters of al-Tahrir, al-Moualimeen, and Oulama were liberated on Saturday after days of intense clashes.
The United Nations said mounting civilian casualties from fighting in eastern Mosul between Iraqi and I
slamic State are overwhelming the capacity of the government and international aid groups.
Nearly 200 wounded civilians and military personnel were transferred to hospital last week, the highest level since the campaign to push the jihadists out of their last major stronghold in Iraq began on October 17, said Lise Grande, the UN humanitarian coordinator for Iraq.
“Authorities are doing everything they can to help but there isn’t sufficient trauma capacity at the field level to deal with the numbers of people being wounded by sharp-shooters and snipers and in crossfire. Civilians are being targeted by ISIL,” she told Reuters, using an acronym for Islamic State, also known as ISIS.

U.S. president Obama should have began preparations for arming the ,(mass murderous Syria dictator Assad regime provoked~ ~~),democratic revolution,for the majority Syria Sunni Muslim Arabs.along,with contacting dissident shitte Muslim Syria alawites,and encouraging cooperation between dissident groups,(i.e.,allowing Syria Shia alawites to join majority Syria Sunni Arab dominated revolution,especially political dissident groups,within Turkey,etc.),in 2011~2014!why did U.S. president Obama refuse to arm Syria democratic armed revolution~ secular and moderate religious Sunni,because U.S. president Obama KNEW that the Syrian moderate democratic revolution was attempting to fight war against both Syria dictator bashar’ Assad regime,(with allies~ Russian federation,Lebanon Hezbollah organization,Shia theocracy ruled Iran,etc.),transnational wahhabi Sunni false Islamic wahhabi Sunni al qeada "the base "terrorism network,and (al qeada network breakaway~ )false isis-false Islamic state,BUT attempting to control revenge Sunni Muslim Arab militias (Lebanon radical Sunni Muslim clerics and Syria revenge Sunni Muslims militias) !Syria Sunni Muslim majority Arabs were begging U.S. president Obama for covert military assistance and major members of U.S. president Obama’s administration attempted to pressure Obama to act,BUT Obama acted to late,in late 2014,(after,Obama’s recklessly cut off political training for Iraqi president al Maliki and publicly pre announced that U.S. forces were mostly pulling out of Iraq) !why didn’t U.S. president Obama continue protection for–,military support for–,and economic support of–,the Iraqi Sunni awakening movement against wahhabi Sunni transnational terrorism and Kurdish regions? !Obama knew,(but,didn’t care,for some reason) ,that radical Iran and Iraqi Shia president al Maliki,were sadistically mass murdering the desperate Iraqi Sunni Muslim Arab population,which allowed evil wahhabi Sunni false Islamic state of Iraq breakaway under al Maliki to reemerge then evolve into the false Islamic state in Iraq and Syria,(aka false Islamic state) !U.S. president George w Bush~ vp dick Cheney administration is 100% intentionally responsible for al qeada network and 55% responsible for false Islamic state.Syria Assad regime was willing pawn ,for U.S. president George w.Bush~ vp dick Cheney administration’ s allowing transnational wahhabi Sunni terrorism infiltrations of U.S. misled 2003 Iraq war.Turkish dictator Erdogan is 10% responsible for isis,especially repeated Turkish occupation of Kurdish Iraq and support of transnational wahhabi Sunni terrorism against Syria Assad regime,in 2011~present Syria civil war.but,2016,Turkish dictator Erdogan is de facto ally of Syria Assad.Syria Assad is 15% responsible for evolution of false isis,because Assad willingly helped evil U.S. president George w Bush~ vp dick Cheney administration to worsen violent Iraqi Sunni Arab militancy,with transnational wahhabi Sunni terrorism~ religious assimilation revolution then Assad reallowed foreign wahhabi Sunni transnational terrorism and violent vengeance Sunni Muslim Arab militancy,to infiltrate the Syrian civil war,therefore corrupting the Syrian majority Sunni Arab dominated moderate revolution.although,the Syrian Sunni Muslim Arab revolution has resisted transnational wahhabi Sunni terrorism,(al qeada and Islamic state) .U.S. President Obama bears 20% responsibility for evolution of false isis,because Obama recklessly executed evil U.S. president George w Bush~ vp dick Cheney administration’ s withdrawal agreement,with the Iraq government of Iraq president al Maliki,especially by publicly pre announcement of U.S. withdrawal from Iraq in 2014.why didn’t the U.S. president Obama help the Iraqi government prepare security arrangements,for Iraqi urban areas,including,Baghdad?including,banning all public crowded events,enforcement of curfews (i.e.,after 11pm).would have stopped many false Islamic state terrorism attacks against Iraq urban areas,including Baghdad.during,publicly preannouced Iraq offensive for reoccupation of Mosul Iraq areas,over a year before offensive began in 2016.
Why didn’t U.S. president Obama’s administration,with the Iraq government,force at least one disciplined Iraq battalion,to combine with the ,(radical Shia Islamic theocracy ruled Iran controlled~ ),Iraqi Shia militias,(each militia) ,for protection of Iraq Sunni Arab civilians and isis pows(isis intel interrogation and forced child soldiers) !Iraqi military police battalions would observe radical Iraq militias,from rear,and ,(radical Shia theocracy ruled Iran influenced~ )Iraq Shia militias would be required to inform the Iraqi military hq,of all captured individuals! But,U.S. president Obama’s administration didn’t prepare these important arrangements,for controlling mass murderous radical Shia theocracy ruled Iran influenced Iraqi Shia Muslim militias,from mass murdering Iraq Sunni Muslim civilians,who needed help! Why didn’t U.S. president Obama’s administration install these precautions,in the pre announced over a year in advance offensive for reoccupation of Mosul Iraq?
Why did U.S. president publicly pre announce the military offensives,for ramadi,Iraq and Mosul,Iraq~ several months to over a year in advance,because the U.S. president Obama’s administration had to know that,(like,ramadi Iraq) ,then ultra evil isis would evacuate high value deash assets involved with terrorism,hold most of the inhabitants hostage especially as human shields,and prepare elaborate suicide bomber traps against offensive forces with civilians! Why didn’t the U.S. president Obama’s administration attempt to use,(misdirection public,with misinformation~ public and military~ ~~),public affairs war,with radical Shia theocracy ruled Iran influenced Iraq militias and ultra evil false Islamic state,therefore,no one would have known areas of Mosul,Iraq were the target of the offensive’ s reoccupation efforts,then careless civilian uprisings,mass murderous false Islamic state activities,most false Islamic state defense traps,etc.~~~would not have mass murdered thousands of civilians.U.S. president Obama’s administration should have stealthily redeployed Iraqi military forces near Kuwait border ,for advanced training preparations for false offensive against Syria border then steady redirection movement back toward areas surrounding Mosul,Iraq,(as smaller offensive reoccupation forces are steadily left to attack ,but really secure borders~ Syria,Jordan,Kuwait,Turkey and Iran) ,to attack defense perimeters.but,before offensive was revealed then special units~ ~~spy networks,commandos,and shock troops,would began attempting infiltrations of urban areas,(including,Mosul,Iraq) ,over a year before offensive occurs,(under bad weather and nighttime ,with occasional infiltrators disguised as civilian refugees,before ultra evil isis,really sealed city firmly) !these special units would not reveal themselves the civilian population,and would execute operations against clear isis targets,with organized rebellion (when possible! ).civilian collateral damage would be avoided,at all cost !example: if important false isis has any known civilians within,then infiltrated covert Iraq Special units,would clandestinely observe important isis target,then strike isis target ~ONLY when civilians were known to clear,such as night or early morning! Special units would covertly start organization of armed resistance rebellions,within areas surrounding Mosul Iraq,2 months after infiltrations,against false isis! Special Iraq units would also covertly (plain clothes infiltrators) and clandestinely (military commandos) ~~~attempt to camouflaged reconnaissance (scouting) ,the areas surrounding Iraq urban areas,border areas,etc.,for camouflaged false Islamic state’ s guarded but concealed~ ~~escape,ambush,and supplies~ ~~tunnels,then,execute operations,for ambushes~ ~3 or 4 miles,from tunnels,for kill and capture,of false isis groups,but surprise traps should be executed by special units disguised as Islamic state units,then suddenly the full ambush should be executed,when the false isis groups are exited their vehicles,with careful searches for hostages,(human shields and forced child soldiers) ,especially convoys carrying women and children! 4 months before military offensive for reoccupation’s public pre announcement,then aerial air strike operations would begin against certain areas surrounding Mosul Iraq with occasional attacks against Mosul Iraq,then more special units would infiltrate into Iraqi urban areas,(high airborne drops,transport helicopters,and special low transport fixed wings aircrafts) ,during rotation of temporarily stopped aerial attacks against urban areas.these second clandestine infiltrated wave of special units would be guided by first wave of special units,from 12~13 months before,into hiding! The special units would escalate surprise operations,within Iraq urban areas,(attempted mass rescues,surprise attacks against isis facilities,assassination of isis officials,etc.)!as the infiltrated special Iraq units began to direct more precise aerial attacks within urban areas ,within and surrounding,Mosul Iraq,then the infiltrated shock troops would would have began direct protection of blasted cut through escape routes,from within urban areas,(AFTER,leaflets were deployed over a month before precision bombing against internal urban areas,which are guided by infiltrated forces,have really begun! ),and occasionally aerial attacks would protect escaping refugees,on created routes and roads! Shock forces would escort escaping refugees during journeys,toward refugee camps,but the leaflets would also state that remaining urban Iraqi inhabitants should attempt to hide inside shielded parts of their dwellings,because infiltrated special forces would be engaging false Islamic state forces,within urban areas,especially Mosul Iraq,for preventing surprise terrorism attacks,hostage taking,etc.,by false Islamic state forces! By,3 weeks after leaflets then all units of the offensive,including Iraqi Sunni Arab militias,etc.,attacks
