The U.S.-backed Iraqi military says the battle to seize control of Mosul from ISIS could be over in a matter of days. The 8-month-long offensive has forced hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians to flee the city. The campaign has been heavily backed by a U.S.-led coalition bombing campaign that’s been accused of killing hundreds of civilians. The journalistic monitoring group Airwars says at least 25 civilians were reportedly killed when U.S.-led airstrikes destroyed four homes in Mosul’s Old City on Saturday.
