alhanuty edit please revert his edit i cann't because i did that one from before today last stronghold does not mean its the last government position in the province there have been no reports those villages had reverted back to isis control not to mention the term stronghold refers to fortifications that are military constructions or buildings designed for the defense of territories in warfare and also used to solidify rule in a region during peace time and a military airport is exactly that not towns and villages
