Iraqi forces enter first western Mosul neighborhood
Iraqi special forces advance towards the western side of Mosul
Baghdad - Arab Today
Elite Iraqi forces on Friday entered a west Mosul neighborhood for the first time in the four-month offensive to retake the city, a commander said.
Forces have also fully retaken the city’s airport from Daesh, according to the Associated Press.
Sami Al-Aridhi, a lieutenant general in the Counter-Terrorism Service, said his men had retaken a military base and a village southwest of Mosul and entered a residential neighborhood of the city.
“We have attacked and fully control Ghazlani base, we have also taken Tal Al-Rayyan... and we’re attacking Al-Maamun neighborhood,” he told AFP.
Iraqi forces secured the east side of Mosul a month ago and on Sunday launched a fresh push on the west side of the Tigris River that divides the city.
They have since retaken several outlying villages and desert areas near the city. On Friday, commanders confirmed that government forces had full control of the airport that lies on the southern edge of the city.
