10 Years After the U.S. Went to War With ISIS, the Scars Remain in Iraq

MOSUL OLD CITY, MOSUL. IRAQ. Much of Mosul's Old City remains in ruins some seven years after ISIS was either destroyed or removed from this area. When ISIS first took Mosul in June of 2014, the city of some 1.5 million people, and Iraq's second-largest city, was taken by just 1500 Islamic militants who terrorized the inhabitants for almost two years. Most of the Old City was destroyed by airstrikes during the Battle of Mosul from October 2016 until July 2017
