I really hope so , right now they arent using their advantage in numbers and isis can therefore inflict massive damage to their specialforces who according to me has been deployed prematurely in the suburbs . This is probably due to the incredibly messy politics cirvumventing mosul operation and the iraqis terrible logistics . Right now they have problems providing food and medical care for even a one sided push into the city , how should they then do it for two fronts ? I expect that there will be more assaults but it seems like a lot of iraqi troops are held up to the south of mosul at the moment and the PMUPeshmergayezidisturks arent allowed to help either . Perhaps the assault on tel afar will give a little support as ISIS have to start preparing the villages between there and mosul for an upcomming push
