The rubble of a bridge blown up by Islamic State (ISIS) in Mosul to block the advancing of Iraqi forces has become a lifeline for civilians,”Now there are people entering and people leaving,” said Major General Sami al-Aridi “The ones who left are returning, and those who are leaving now are coming from … neighborhoods where there are currently clashes.”
He said he expected the latest evacuees to return in a day or two as Iraqi forces pushed further west. It’s complicated the task of the military which must fight among civilians in built-up areas against the enemy.
