The Iraqi operation to liberate Mosul, has been ongoing since October 17 and this offensive is being led by Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and Iraqi soldiers along with some US-led local allies. Not reported by the Glob - circa 90 Iraqi military servicemen were killed and 100 wounded as result of a US airstrike in Mosul earlier this month. The airstrike destroyed 8 infantry fighting vehicles and 4 ‘Humvees’  belonging to Iraqi security forces and forced them to retreat from the recently liberated areas of the ISIS stronghold. As result of airstrikes and ISIS counter-attacks ISF lost up to 200 fighters and was pushed to retreat.

As can be expected for the coming year 2017, there will be many more of this type of 'sins of omission'. Glob reporting will include many ‘sins of omission’ regarding Syria, as it doing today by NOT reporting the overwhelming happiness on the streets of Aleppo since the Syrian Army and Russian, Iranian and Hezbollah  troops liberated the city.
