Iraqi troops push into new Mosul neighborhoods in resumed offensive

The Iraqi army has come in control of Industrial and Mithaq neighborhoods of Mosul as troops push further into the city against ISIS in the second phase of the operation.

Heavy clashes took place between Iraqi troops and ISIS militants in the two new neighborhoods on Tuesday as a Rudaw team embedded with the army filmed the scene.

Civilians could be seen fleeing the fight. Some of them were caught in the cross fire and lost family members to ISIS car bombs.

The Iraqi army launched an offensive on October 17 to retake the country’s second largest city from ISIS.
