Iraqi forces were located Sunday at 4 kilometers south of Mosul inning after snatching two major po[CENSORED]tions to jihadist group Islamic State (EI).
After taking the city of Hamam al Alil, capital of the region, po[CENSORED]tions recovered today (Al Salahiya and Dor to Mashariq) are the most important area for the release of Ninawa (whose capital is Mosul).
As usual when Iraqi forces liberate an area immediately after the task is to remove the explosives and bomb traps laid by EI jihadists before fleeing.
In this way, ensure the area with the aim of rebuilding after the main buildings to restore services and that residents can return to their homes as soon as possible.
In clashes between Iraqi forces and the jihadists fifty members of EI, including several suicide bombers, were killed while an unknown number fled the area through tunnels dug under po[CENSORED]tions.
After recovery of Al Salahiya and Dor to Mashariq, Iraqi forces are located just 4 kilometers from the southern entrance of Mosul, a city in which already went a few days ago on the eastern front.
With this advance, the troops, according to Efe said the head of the Federal Police, Gen. Raed Yudet, are ready to attack the southern neighborhoods, even today, "capital" of EI in Iraq.
Despite being holed up in Mosul, the jihadists demonstrated in this day still have the capacity to cause serious damage to other parts of Iraq.
At least 24 people died in two explosions occurred in the province of Saladin, located south of Mosul and north of Baghdad, security sources said.
