ISIS facing final defeat in Mosul

Though the battle against ISIS for Mosul – Iraq’s second city – has taken much longer than most people expected, it appears that the battle for Mosul may be finally drawing to an end.
News yesterday spoke of significant advances by the Iraqi army in western Mosul, with the Iraqi army finally reaching Mosul’s Old City, which however is still controlled by ISIS.  More reports today speak of Iraqi troops entering Mosul’s Old City, and capturing an area in its northern part.
