MOSUL, Iraq It was March 17, 2017. Troops from the US-led coalition fighting terrorists in Iraq were advancing on Mosul s Old City, squeezing out the Daesh group.
But just months before the recapture of the city, where Daesh had declared its caliphate in 2014, a new human toll was added to the growing tragedy when it was revealed more than 100 civilians had been killed in a single coalition air strike.
The coalition has now admitted more than 1,000 civilian lives were lost in the seven-year operation against the militant group in Iraq and Syria.
