ISIL in retreat in Mosul?

Daily Mail:

Has US tactic to reveal plans to reclaim Mosul in the spring worked? ISIS fighters 'begin fleeing the area' following announcement 


Intensified airstrikes on the terror group's Western Iraqi stronghold have seen hundreds of jihadis flee their main base in the south of the oil rich city, according local media reports.
This is interesting and it is inconsistent with their actions in places like Kobani.  But the group has a real force to space problem.  It has captured more territory than it has the troops to control.  Perhaps there was some intelligence indicating their position was tenuous.   We want really know until the battle begins.
