Iraqi forces advanced towards Bab Sinjar in Old Mosul and besieged an Islamic State “headquarters” in the Zanjili neighborhood on June 1, the Iraqi Federal Police said.
About a dozen civilians were injured by Islamic State mortar shells while fleeing from Zanjili, Reuters said, citing Iraqi officials.
Zanjili is one of a few enclaves still under the control of Islamic State in west Mosul, along with the Old City and the Medical City hospitals complex.
