After successfully clearing the eastern portion of the northern Iraq city of Mosul earlier this month, the Iraqi Security Forces are finally ready to push across the Tigris river and continue to clear what little parts of the western half of the city that still remain under ISIS control.
ISIS, however, has made a number of last-ditch efforts to slow down and hamper the progress of Iraqi Forces (ISF) and U.S. Advisers in the area, by throwing waves of IED laden vehicles, suicide bombers, and even commercial drones carrying grenades at fighters in the city.
