Separately, Iraqi forces killed Abu Ayyub al-Shami, an ISIS military commander, along with three of his bodyguards.

Meanwhile, the 9th Division of the Iraqi Army completed its mission in the city of Mosul. It’s now heading to join the Iraqi Division 15 around Tal Afar in order to launch a joint operation with the Iraqi popular Mobilization Units (PMU) in order to liberate Tal Afar in the northwestern counryside of Mosul.
