ISIS Fighters Disguise As Women With Make-Up And Padded Bras To Flee Mosul

The aggression to liberate Mosul from ISIS control started since last year according to a statement by Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi. As the fight goes on in full force in the Iraq’s second city, some photos recently released by the Iraqi army show that some ISIS members are now taking desperate measures to flee Mosul.

Some militants have been caught slathered on powder, eyeshadow, and lipstick, even adding some beauty spots trying to run out of the city.

Why Are ISIS Fighters Now Trying To Flee Mosul Pretending To Be Women With Make-Up And Padded Bras?

This Information that keeps filtering out of Mosul in short calls, smuggled messages, and first-hand accounts from the army goes to show that ISIS leaders are fighting fiercely and as well plaing their own escape.

The fighters appear to be fleeing Mosul in small groups to avoid airstrikes, taking a long route to other parts of Iraqi town and then across the desert on small roads and tracks for safety.

Old Mosul:

Mosul’s Old City is one the biggest cities in northern Iraq. The once multi-faith and ethnically diverse Mosul used to be a built neighborhood but hAs now changed and brought down to debris and wreckage by a months-long war to root out the Islamic State.

The effect of the battle against the death cult ISIS can be seen in stark before-and after satellite photographs.

Many people from West Mosul, have lost their homes, work and everything that offered them a living in the past. As they struggle to survive, some experience beatings and executions for transgressions usually carried out by ISIS.

As the fighting deepened, gunmen killed people trying to slip through the city. According to strong speculations, Baghdadi has died in recent months.

Even Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a longtime conflict monitor, last week stated that it had heard from senior IS leaders in Syria’s Deir Ezzor province that Baghdadi was dead.

However, Russia’s army said in mid-June that it was seeking to confirm whether it had killed the IS chief in a May air strike in Syria.

With a $25 million US bounty on his head, Baghdadi has gone hiding but was said to be moving around regularly throughout the IS-held territory in Iraq and Syria.

The Iraqi native has not been his only public appearance as ‘caliph’ in 2014 at the Grand Mosque of Al-Nuri in Mosul, which was reduced to rubble in the war for Iraq’s second city.

Foreign intelligence assumes there are between 3,000 and 5,000 ISIS militants in this city, with hundreds more in areas around it.
