Daesh shells recaptured areas
Iraqis displaced from the Nablous neighbourhood due to the ongoing fighting
Mosul - Arab Today
Daesh militants shelled areas recaptured by Iraqi forces in western Mosul, hitting civilians fleeing the fighting early on Wednesday as troops edged their way through the narrow, dangerous streets of the Old City.
Heavy mortar fire killed at least five civilians and wounded more than 20 in Mosul Jadida and Rifak districts — areas that the militants had recently lost to Federal Police and Rapid Response brigades, military officials said.
“Daesh shelled liberated, populated areas to distract our troops. They have wounded dozens,” a federal police spokesman said.
At federal police frontlines near the Old City, forces blocked off roads with earthen barricades to stop suicide car bombers reaching their troops. Tanks and rocket teams stood guard at barricades while troops with RPGs manned rooftops.
