The ISIL has permitted the female residents of Mosul to leave the city and the two terrorists were trying to take that opportunity.

The two have managed to escape the city, but the Kurdish Peshmerga forces took them and realized that they were men.

In late June, informed security sources disclosed that Iraqi police forces had identified and captured half a dozen ISIL terrorists in the city of Fallujah who had disguised as women.

"The Iraqi police have taken 6 ISIL terrorists who were wearing women's clothes and trying to flee Fallujah city," the Arabic-language media outlets quoted an unnamed security source as saying.

The Iraqi security source also said that the police forces also discovered women's dresses in one of ISIL's bases.

"They used women's dresses and cosmetic make-ups to flee Fallujah city," the source added.

On Sunday, a senior popular forces commander announced that the ISIL terrorists had disguised as ordinary people in Sharqat front in the Northern part of Salahuddin province as Iraqi forces were making rapid advances there.

"The ISIL terrorists have completely lost their morale and they have disguised in order not to be identified by the Iraqi security forces," the Arabic-language Sumeria News website quoted Jabar al-Mamouri as saying.

He underlined that the ISIL commanders have lost their morale because their forces have fled the battlefields.
