History

edit

Numaniyah came under the occupation of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) during its campaign in August 2014,[2] but was later retaken by the 9th division of the Iraqi army on 13 November 2016 amidst the battle of Mosul.[3] The Iraqi army subsequently set about clearing the village of mines and bombs planted by ISIL.[4]
