The Beatings Will Continue: Iraqi and Syrian Edtions
 ISIS formation leaders leave by commandeered vehicles (IraqiNews.com) Nineveh – Iraqi media outlets reported on Sunday, that the so-called ISIS Assra army started to hide its military troops to protect it from aerial bombings, while pointed out that a large number of Assra army’s leaders fled using civil vehicles. Al Sumaria News stated, “ISIS terrorist gangs started to hide its vehicles inside houses and bury its troops in the center of city, in order to protect them from the air strikes by Army Aviation, international coalition and Iraqi air Force.” “A large number of al-Assra army’s leaders fled using civil vehicles from the city of Mosul toward the Syrian city of Raqqa,” Al Sumaria added. ISIS tried to use thousands of families as human shields, while prevented the families of liberated areas from communicating with Mosul residents. ISIS booby traps kidz toyz in Ninevah (IraqiNews.com) Nineveh – The British newspaper ‘The Observer’ reported on Sunday, that the Islamic State hid explosives inside children’s toys as a new method to hinder the battle to liberate Mosul. The Observer stated that a teddy bear is propped on top of the explosives it was designed to hide and detonate. An adult would probably have walked by, but to a child the wide eyes and fuzzy orange fur would have been irresistible. Colonel Nawzad Kamil Hassan, an engineer with the Kurdish Peshmerga forces said, “Why would ISIS use something nice, like a bear or a rabbit? They used this toy because they know the Peshmerga will pay much attention to it, but children will,” pointing out that, “Our brigade has cleared more than 50 tons of explosives from areas liberated from the ISIS control.” Hassan also decided to preserve some of the most creative, cruel and unusual of those homemade bombs to use as training aids for new recruits. The Observer also revealed that a toy, a playing card and an abandoned watch are all detonators designed to spark the acquisitive curiosity of a returning civilian, who would be maimed or murdered by the explosion. “The expertise of ISIS with explosives and extensive use of suicide bombs and booby traps makes attacking them particularly dangerous, and slows recovery when they are defeated. Because there is no area, civilian or military, that the group will not lace with explosives, many Iraqis fear that returning to their homes and former lives could be deadly, even long after militants have left,” The Observer added. Mosul hospital packed with 134 good Moslems (IraqiNews.com) Nineveh – Iraqi media outlets reported on Sunday, that the forensic medicine department in Nineveh Hospital received 134 bodies belonging to members of the Islamic State. Al Sumaria News stated, “The forensic medicine department in Nineveh Hospital received, today, 134 bodies belonging to members of the Islamic State, including 40 members holding Arab and foreign nationalities, who were killed in the ongoing liberation battles of Shura area and Tel Keppe axis south and north of Nineveh.” “The ISIS has imposed strict procedures around the hospital and barred approaching it, and evacuated a number of hospitals in the city to provide treatment for its members,” Al Sumaria added. Security forces continue advancing in the battle to liberate Mosul from the ISIS grip, backed by Iraqi Army Aviation and international coalition air force. 23 families freed as human shields (IraqiNews.com) Nineveh – On Sunday, Badr Organization announced freeing 23 families from ISIS control in the village of al-Gorn, west of Mosul. The organization said in a press statement, “Forces from Badr Organization managed, today, to free 23 families in the village of al-Gorn, west of Mosul, from ISIS control.” “ISIS was using the families as human shields,” the statement explained. “Badr Organization’s forces continue liberating the village from the ISIS control,” the statement added. Yesterday, spokesman for Asaib Ahl al-Haq Jawad Telbawi announced launching the battle to liberate the western areas of Mosul, and pointed out that all factions of al-Hashd al-Shaabi militia will participate in the battle. Islamic rebels execute 2 in Idlib [ARA News] Idlib – Militants of the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (JFS) executed on Sunday two civilians in Syria’s northwestern city of Idlib, after accusing them of spying on behalf of the Syrian regime. The JFS militants executed Muhammad Jabalak, 39, and Ammar al-Ali, 54, by firing squad in central Idlib. “These two infidels have been cooperating with and spying for the Assad regime,” the group said in a public statement before carrying out the execution. “The execution took place in front of hundreds of people,” local media activist Aiman al-Hussein told ARA News. “The two men were executed right after being arrested. There has been no interrogation or material evidence about their involvement in any spying activities,” al-Hussein reported. “The incident angered the people of Idlib.” JFS is an Al-Qaeda splinter group, which was previously known as Jabhat al-Nusra. The group shares control of Idlib with other Islamist rebel factions, including Ahrar al-Sham and the Army of Conquest [Jaish al-Fateh]. Posted by: badanov 2016-10-31 |
