Mosul residents are celebrating the full liberation of their city from ISIL terrorists ahead of the official announcement by the government.
Celebrations began on Saturday after the Iraq army fully purged the strategic Old City neighborhood following extreme clashes with the terrorists in the last area remaining in their control.
After the announcement, the Iraqi army stated that over 14,500 terrorists were killed since the beginning of the operations to literate the city, which began last year.
Iraqi army soldiers and volunteer fighters from the Popular Mobilization Units, commonly known by their Arabic name, Hashd al-Sha’abi, have made sweeping gains against Daesh since launching the Mosul operation on October 17, 2016.
