Iraqi forces, backed by the US-led coalition, announced the liberation of Mosul from ISIS control after months of intense fighting. The operation to retake the city began last year, with Iraqi troops gradually advancing, street by street, against fierce resistance from the militant group. The battle for Mosul had been one of the deadliest and most brutal confrontations in the fight against ISIS, resulting in heavy civilian casualties and massive destruction. The city, once a major stronghold for the terrorist organization, had been under their control for years, causing suffering and hardship for its residents. The declaration of victory in Mosul marked a significant turning point in the conflict, dealing a major blow to ISIS and its ambitions of establishing a caliphate. The successful mission was a testament to the determination and resilience of the Iraqi forces, as well as the crucial support provided by the coalition partners. With Mosul liberated, efforts were focused on stabilizing the city, rebuilding infrastructure, and assisting the displaced residents in returning to their homes. The aftermath of the battle posed immense challenges, including the presence of explosive remnants of war and the need for humanitarian aid. #Iraq #MosulLiberation #ISISDefeated #CoalitionSupport #RebuildingEfforts
