Al Jazeera: Iraqi forces gear up for anti-ISIL push in west Mosul
Popular Mobilisation 'prepares' to soon launch operation in city's western part, even as fighting continues in the east.
A hundred days into a major push to recapture Mosul from ISIL, the Iraqi army has said it is gearing up for an offensive to take the city's western half, even as troops are still battling the armed group to take full control of the eastern sector.
The Popular Mobilisation "is preparing an operation in the next two, three days, to back up the operation to retake the right bank" of the city, on the western side of the Tigris river, Mosuliya TV cited General Abdul Ameer Rasheed Yarallah, commander of the anti-ISIL campaign, as saying on Tuesday.
Popular Mobilisation is a coalition of predominantly Iranian-trained Shia groups, formed in 2014 to take part in the war on ISIL, also known as ISIS.
