Liberation of Mosul 'days' away, says Pentagon

Last week, the coalition said the hospital was one of two remaining ISIS holdouts inside the city, which Iraqis and their partners have battled for eight months to recapture from ISIS.

Col. Ryan Dillon, the coalition's spokesman, described the hospital to reporters on Thursday as an 11-story "killing tower" that ISIS had used to target civilians fleeing the city.

Dillon called the retaking of the hospital "significant," saying only a "small pocket" of ISIS fighters remain in Mosul's Old City.

He said last week that the liberation of Mosul was only "days," not weeks, away.
