The Iraqi forces combated ISIL terrorists in their last holdouts in Old Mosul on Wednesday.

“Today, our advance was easier than yesterday,” stated Lieutenant Colonel Haidar Hussein, a commander in Iraq’s elite Counter-Terrorism Service.

“We took control of more than 200 meters (yards) today and there are less than 200 meters remaining toward the Tigris River,” Hussein said, referring to the waterway marking the eastern edge of remaining ISIL-held area in the city.
