On October 17, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi announced the
start of a military operation to retake Mosul from Daesh, a jihadist group outlawed in a number of countries.
According to reports, about 30,000 Iraqi soldiers and 4,000 Kurdish Peshmerga fighters are taking part in the operation, backed by airstrikes carried out by the US-led international coalition.
US media reported on Monday that American troops embedded with Iraqi forces, are now pushing toward Mosul’s city center.
