Iraq forces retake more areas in west Mosul

Iraqi forces are fighting street by street, not bombing the hell out of Mosul. That's why it's slower, but that's better for Mosul residents and preserves the city to be livable instead of the massive destruction that happened in Aleppo (the Battle of Aleppo began July 2012 until December 2016 (4 years, 5 months), with the last offensive June - December 2016 lasting 7 months - and that's with bombing the hell out of Aleppo.) At least the fleeing Mosul residents can return to their homes once the battle is over, unlike the Aleppo residents whose homes were bombed into the stone age
