The iraqi forces say they are in full control of Qatheeb al-Ban area and a sports stadium in the western wing of Mosul’s old city. The forces has slowed the pace of its advance in the densely populated areas and narrow alleyways around the mosque to protect civilians. The Noori mosque is where the head of Daesh terrorist group proclaimed his so called caliphate in 20-14. Retaking the landmark will deal a major blow to the Takfiri group.
