Iraqi military advances in historical part of Mosul: video

Iraqi Federal Police continued their advance into self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS; formerly ISIS/ISIL) controlled areas of the old city of Mosul, Wednesday.

Unit 3 of the Iraqi Federal Police under the command of Major Aesar Abulla Aluqaede can be seen firing towards ISIS positions, using BKC guns, AK 47, mortars, RPGs and rockets.

The military operation against IS in Mosul began on October 17 last year. IS captured the city in 2014 and the offensive is now fronted by the US-led anti-IS coalition and the Iraqi military.
