Daesh has claimed that it has killed close to 4,000 Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), Shia militias and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters during the ongoing operations in and around Mosul, now in its seventh week. If true, this would mean that Daesh has killed almost as many men as it possesses itself in the war-ravaged city.
Daesh’s Amaq news agency has released a continuous week-by-week update of statistics it claims show how many combatants it has killed in action, the number of suicide bombing missions it has executed and a number of other statistics including its claims regarding civilian casualties in Mosul.
