In shocking video footage from western Mosul’s Tal Afar countryside, the corpses of terrorists killed by Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) have been lined up on the ground.

The video clip was published to Twitter today (February 23) by a user who claims more than 33 terrorists were killed.

“A gift to all victims of Da'ish terrorism. #Iraq's Hashd killed dozens of Da'ish terrorists in a single battle west of #Mosul. 33+ corpses,” Haidar Sumeri wrote on Twitter.

Mosul is on the verge of being liberated after US-led coalition forces launched the second wave of their attack last month.

A spokesman for the PMF – Iraq's government-sanctioned paramilitary forces – Ahmed al-Asadi, said on Wednesday that villages located southwest of the town of Tal Afar are still held by ISIS.

And ISIS have used Mosul Airport as a stronghold and military base, but now face a massive attack from the Iraqi Army.

The assault began this morning as special forces troops from the Golden Division spearheaded the attack as air support from warplanes and attack helicopters swooped overhead.

Iraqi forces are now attempting to clear the airport of jihadi fighters and secure victory and drive the death cult back.

Advances by the military have been slowed as soldiers have been forced to take the city back street-by-street – facing waves of snipers, drones and suicide bombers.

Jihadis have been continuing their brutality as their grip crumbles – drowning civilians in cages last week after accusing them of treason.
