A RAW Compilation of the First Days of the Offensive on ISIS-Held Mosul, Iraq. The first days consisted of Kurdish Peshmerga Troops with US Special Forces within their ranks, US Artillery Units, Iraqi Security Forces, among other groups participating such as the Russian-Iranian Backed PMU (Popular Mobilization Units) and French Special Forces fighting against ISIS. The Battle of Mosul started on October 16, 2016, with some Forces being as close as 8Km to the City as of October 25th. Mosul still has up to 1.5 Million Civilians living in the city, which will most likely result in ISIL using Human Shields and a Humanitarian Crisis. The US-Led Coalition will also provide UAV and Close Air Support, as they did for the Battle of Manbij in Syria. Turkey, having Troops NorthWest of Mosul, also wants part in the Operation, but their intentions are unclear, whether it's for Anti-ISIL or Anti-Kurdish purposes, a move strongly opposed by the Iraqi Government and demanding a Turkish Withdrawal, ignored by Erdogan. This may start a new regional conflict as in Northern Syria during the Turkish Operation Euphrates Shield.
