ISIL executes 17 commanders for escaping battlefield south of Mosul

The ISIL Takfiri terrorists have executed 17 of the group’s commanders for escaping the battlefield in a strategic Iraqi town south of their stronghold of Mosul.

The commanders were executed by the firing squad in Mosul for getting away from the frontline in the town of Qayyarah, a local source told Iraq’s al-Sumaria news website on Wednesday.

Last month, Iraqi forces launched an operation to liberate the town from the control of ISIL in preparation for an offensive to retake Mosul. The forces have so far made remarkable advances against the terrorists.
