Recently the us helped the Iraqi take back the Mosul airport.Previously ISIS had full control of the area and it was the last major strong hold in the country. Iraqi federal police forces had killed 79 ISIS members and regained control of 10 villages in the process. It was said that they weren't able to gain control west across the river because the bridges connecting the two half's of Mosul have been destroyed by ISIS and damaged by U.S air strikes. It is estimated that 650,000 civilians are still trapped and need to be rescued.
I thing that it is amazing that Iraq is successfully taking back the land that is rightfully theirs. Hopefully this is a small mild-stone that will stand against terrorism.
