Iraqi forces pushing to reclaim Mosul are in a race against time to stop the terrorists from killing civilians in mass executions.

As Iraqi Joint Forces clear neighborhoods in Eastern Mosul, east of the Tigris River, the terrorist defenders are murdering large groups of civilians in West Mosul, according to eyewitness reports.

“ISIS terrorists have appeared in Mosul neighborhoods dressed in Iraqi Army uniforms to trick civilians to come out into the streets to welcome them. But those who do are arrested and executed elsewhere,” said Ali Sada, editor of Daesh Daily, a war digest.

On the day Americans went to the polls a week ago, ISIS executed 130 civilians and hung their corpses from lamp posts, according to the website of the Iraqi Congress of Representatives. Hundreds have been executed in the town of Hamam Al Alil, 20 miles south of Mosul, where local residents stood up against ISIS a month ago and hoisted the Iraqi flag. Iraqi Army troops uncovered a mass grave containing more than 400 bodies of victims on Thursday.

ISIS arrested more than 100 people in the east side of Mosul Monday on charges they were trying to support Iraqi forces, according to a report on Al-Quds Al-Arabi.
