Iraqi army sources announced on Tuesday that the military commander of ISIS terrorists in Mosul has been killed in an airstrike.
"Ibrahim Mohammad Halil, nom de guerre Abu Suleiman, was killed in an air raid in the terrorist-held city of Mosul," the sources said.
"In the meantime, Iraqi Army soldiers fended off ISIL's offensives on the Nineveh Operations Room in the Northern side of al-Qayyara, destroying their bomb-laden suicide vehicles," they added.
Local sources also said that ISIS has planned a large number of bombs, explosive traps and landmines across vital roads to Mosul, airport buildings and airport runway to confront the Iraqi government forces' impending large-scale operation to liberate Mosul.
On Monday, the Iraqi air force destroyed the building of ISIL's radio station in the city of Mosul.
The ISIL's radio broadcasting building came under the Iraqi fighter jets' raids, killing all ISIL terrorists inside the building, a security source in Nineveh province said.
The source said that the ISIS uses the radio building for its propaganda warfare, FNA reported.
