#1  al aSha-med makes good editorial point in headline

The Iraq Govt forces are undoubtedly depleted from months of continual house to house fighting. No reliable estimate of casualty figures has been released in past 6 months which is not a good sign. Back in Dec, a group estimated that the Govt side lost almost 2000 killed in Nov. 2016 and that wasn't confirmed by the Govt.
