After 3 months of fighting, the battle to retake #Mosul has entered a new chapter. But ISIS’s vast arsenal of car bombs and suicide vests is far from spent and most of the civilian population is still trapped. The photographer @ivorprickett embedded with an Iraqi special forces unit — among the Iraqi Army’s best troops — to get an inside look. Although much of the worst fighting was over, he writes, the soldiers were still on alert for “ISIS booby traps, gunmen and, perhaps scariest of all, suicide car bombers.” When he took this photo, several military snipers had taken up positions on the balconies of the once-luxurious Nineveh International Hotel. From there they could look across the Tigris River, which divides the city. “Although Iraqi forces and coalition airstrikes have tried to avoid civilian casualties,” he writes, “there is no avoiding the fact that this fighting is taking place in a heavily populated urban environment.” Visit the link in our profile to see the full photo essay and read @ivorprickett’s full account of his inside look at the war on ISIS in Mosul, #Iraq.
