And   these forces managed to foil several operations, and offensive attacks that fighters of Daesh  attempted to implement it, and to address them and killed many of their fighters, and captured others, and in all  of this ,  the locals  who are in residential neighborhoods  are  paying the price of these confrontations of the martyrs and the wounded  who are dying, in addition to demolish and burn their property as a result of mutual bombardment.

And we can read the features of the next phase of the clashes, according to the following criteria :

  1. The continuing of the operations of field bombardment with  mortar,  implemented by fighters Daesh , which became runs along the bank of the Tigris River from the point of the left coast, specifically in the areas of : (Rachidia – al-Shurta –al-Majmoaa al-thakafia –al-Dhubat – Jarmjh), and the corresponding it  offensive and target operations by  the Iraqi security forces due  to  the presence of these elements in the places from which  they attack    from the areas and districts of   right coast.
  1. Escalation the activities of  aerial bombing carried out by the international coalition under the direct supervision and support of the United States, and its  intelligence organs that were able to identify a lot of sites, and important  goals of the elements Daesh and directing more than 50 air strike a day to their positions in the right Sahel.
  1. the completion of all readiness and preparations to enter the first stage of confrontation in the area of the right coast  after they prepared security and military plans under the direct supervision and joint coordination between all parties of  the joint operations room in Baghdad and Erbil, with which it shares many of the bodies of European and US military institutions, most notably the (French troops and the US).
  1. the continuing to put security controls, and identify the tasks of field services ; to strengthen the security and stability case , which Iraqi security and military forces were able  to control it  after the withdrawal of Daesh  fighters from it , and after the training   process and development of tactical plans and curricula  carried out by the forces of the Spanish army in Basmajh district in eastern city Baghdad, for a number of elements and employees of the Nineveh province police department for distribution and deployment in many areas that have been liberated, and  the field control with the intensification of training courses, and prepare properly for these elements; to exercise its security functions  accurately and properly.

5.working  on the rehabilitation of Qayyarah Air Force Base,  from which the international coalition aircrafts began  to perform many sorties targeting places of leaders and fighters Daesh in Mosul city center and the bombing of their positions in the area of the  right coast  , as  the runways at the base was used for   the landing aircraft (F-16 and the Sukhoi) in DC dens Daesh and all these activities  that would promote the process of advancement of land forces in the right side.

 

  1. To enable the military units near the eastern bank of the Tigris River to target and foil all armed offensives waged by fighters Daesh through their  penetration  using the river boats , where they were able to thwart a broad attack on the important parts of five residential neighborhoods of eastern bank of the Tigris River namely: (al-Malyah, officers- al-thakafa,al-Zerayah), and ended with the restoration of control by Iraqi forces again on these neighborhoods.

These offensive operations   comes from  Daesh fighters because they are taking advantage of the security vacuum left by anti-terror forces after the end of its combat missions and the withdrawal of Nineveh Guard troops from residential neighborhoods after the issuance of orders  from their military command in Baghdad.

  1. The rise of large numbers of elements of the armed militias within the coast left center irritated the people of the city of Mosul, and those elements worked to provoke the locals with some acts and sectarian attitudes, which reflected negatively on the role of military forces  that entered the city, where these elements are practiced   sectarian chants and  shouts  , raising  sectarian flags and banners  on the roofs of buildings, specifically the mosque of the Prophet Younis( peace be upon him), in addition to raising pictures of some leaders of the popular crowd in key places  of  the left  coast  area  repeating sectarian  phrases, and slogans  and raising banners in front of the grand Mosque in the area of agricultural district .
