Mosul Campaign Day Twenty, Nov 5, 2016

by | Nov 6, 2016

Fighting was on going in eastern Mosul. The Bakr neighborhood was the latest to be entered by the Golden Division. Ulamaa, Karama, Zahara, Karkukli, Aden, Zahabi and the Green Apartments were all declared freed. There were still clashes in Zahara and Gogjali.

Hamam al-Alil to the southeast was finally stormed and the center reached. There were still questions about whether IS had been fully ejected. The Federal Police freed 8 other villages as well in the area. After Hamam al-Alil is fully secured these forces will head towards Mosul.

The Hashd were still pushing in the southwest. It was reported they freed six villages. One of their commanders Abu Muhandis stated that the liberation of Mosul would take time because the Islamic State was receiving intelligence from the United States. Muhandis is one of many pro-Iranian Hashd members who are spreading these stories attempting to discredit the American’s role in the campaign.
