President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner arrived in Iraq on Monday amid the ongoing U.S. and Iraqi militaries’ campaign to retake Mosul from ISIS. The monitoring group Airwars says dozens of civilians were reportedly killed or wounded by airstrikes and shelling on Friday. The group also reports the U.S. launched six more airstrikes on Mosul over the weekend. U.S.-led coalition airstrikes in Mosul have killed hundreds of civilians in recent months, including a single strike on March 17 that may have killed up to 200 civilians. This is Aly Ibrahim, a resident of west Mosul.
Aly Ibrahim: “We went away after the airstrikes. The airstrikes struck every building on the block, destroying it. There were no Islamic State fighters. A whole block destroyed from top to bottom by coalition planes.”
