a reply to: TDawg61

I have listed many sources. Can only update a few times a day, so if anyone wants to post anything I miss, which will be alot, please feel free too.

I was watching 'watch mosul city live" on and off last night again. Pretty insane. They were flushing snipers out of a village and the camera was almost shot about 5 five times. Crazy.

Trench battles?? Good thing there are javelins deployed out there.

This guy from yesterday popped up from a tunnel.

Broad daylight. And when I say close I mean close.

They started pulling tanks out and were waiting for air support.

It did look like a comrade was trying to talk some sense into him and interfered on behalf of reason. These guys need to be more professional.

Iraq army forces ruthlessly beat detainees, allegedly civilians. Sectarian strife??

an inside look at one of these underground tunnels where fighters for Daesh were overrun by Peshmerga fighters.


Video from yesterday purporting to show Iraq forces striking Daesh targets as they attempt to flee.


And some more of them hitting ISIS forces near the Syrian border, possibly an initial wave of escapees from Mosul on their way to reinforce the Syrian campaign ??

RT has this streaming in Spanish as well as Aleppo. At least we seeing this from every direction.
Rudaw, Kurdistan24, and RT espanol .

Kurdish forces took a small ISIS recon drone out the sky.

Jeez, maybe wait to do interviews after the live OP, not during a live OP that can distract and get people killed.

Sound and Picture ‏@soundandpic 22h22 hours ago #Mosul #ISIS issued a decision for civilians to hand all sim carts of phones to ISIS offices #Sou_and_Pic #ISIS #ISL #IS

I guess they are fully aware of the NSA spy capabilities.

Some exclusive stuff from France24. Peshmerga pushing through, some fighting, liberates a village and raises Iraqi flag, explores another daesh tunnel.

WOW Iraq Special Operations Forces(ISOF) sure are unleashing some hell out there. Looks like ghostbusters while they hold the trigger on that thing.

Reports of an American casualty due to roadside IED. Pray for your peace fallen warrior

‘ISIS terrorists fleeing Mosul for Syria’s Raqqa’ – French President Hollande echoes Russian concern

"Everything must be done to ensure the safety of civilian populations, now residing in combat areas and used as human shields by Daesh [Arabic pejorative term for IS],” Hollande said, adding that anti-IS forces must act “in full respect of human rights and international humanitarian law."

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) estimates that up to 1 million civilians may be displaced due to the fighting. According to the International Organization for Migration, around 5,640 people had to flee their homes in Mosul in the last three days, with the majority leaving in the last 24 hours.

Thats no good.

#US warplanes bombing #Kirkuk now. #ISIS trying to capture the prison.

And NRTtv has added a live stream. All of these streams are only temporary and eventually move on though.

The PKK and Peshmerga have joined forces to route out ISIS from Kirkuk. I am guessing this will be the only excuse Turkey needs now to launch its own assaut on Mosul. It has tank divisions parked outside Mosul about 20 or 30 miles north northeast.

I have a feeling that Kurdistan will be born as an official recognized state after this war is over. These campaigns they have participated in Syria and Iraq are a way of them earning their place to the UNSC, only Turkey stands in the way.
