Yarallah added that liberalization of the neighborhood was achieved after inflicting the enemy heavy losses.

Joint security forces continue for the twelfth week their military operations to restore the Mosul city from the grip of the so-called ’Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and the Levant’ (ISIS) terrorist group, and managed so far to liberate many areas, some of them enjoy strategic locations.
