An Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga fighter plays with the ball with comrades after returning from combat against Islamic State (IS) group jihadists in Bashiqa on November 9, 2016. Operations are still ongoing but Kurdish forces are finding less and less resistance as they move from house to house searching properties and clearing out a network of underground tunnels dug by IS linking large parts of the city.
