Bartella (Syriac: ܒܪܛܠܐ;[1] Arabic: برطلّة) is a town that is located in the Nineveh Plains in northern Iraq, about 21 kilometres (13 miles) east of Mosul.
Bartella was liberated from ISIL control on October 20, 2016 by Iraqi Special Operations Forces[2] along with the Nineveh Plain Protection Units and PMF Brigade 30, who both currently control and run the city's security.[3][4]
The town is populated by Assyrian Christians and Shabaks.[5] The town had an Assyrian majority prior to the Northern Iraq offensive of ISIL,[6] while the Shabak population has risen to at least 35% of the population[7][8] or a majority.[3]
