Mosul, Iraq. Civilians pass over a collapesed bridge in the market place of the recently liberated neighborhood of Al Sukar in eastern Mosul. ISIS has used drones with grenades to target busy areas where many civilians congregate. Though eastern Mosul is considered fully liberated by the Iraq Army, possible ISIS snipers, trip wires, and IEDs [improvised explosive devices] are still a threat to civilians. For more than two and half years Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city has been under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil). Since October of 2016, Iraq Special Forces have begun the battle to take back Mosul.
