ISIS Slaughtered Babies, Pregnant Women, Elderly in Battle for Mosul

ISIS militants indiscriminately slaughtered pregnant women, children and entire families during a bloody seige last month, a former Navy SEAL told Fox News. “ISIS was just gunning down civilians in the middle of the night as they ran – women and children," Ephraim Mattos told Fox News of the "Battle for Mosul" June 1-2. "We were trying to treat as many people as we could. But bodies were all over the streets. An entire family lay dead right there – an old man, young parents and their baby between them."

The United Nations confirmed more than 160 were massacred while running from their West Mosul homes, Fox News reported.

“We saw two young girls, about 11 or 12, lying down," Mattos told Fox News. "One had been shot dead in the back, the other in the head – her face was totally gone. Where her face used to be, was just a big black hole.” “We started to see children alive, buried underneath the dead," he said. "They were in shock. These little kids would get up and poke the bodies of their parents – confused, trying to wake them up from their sleep."

U.S. aircraft provided a smoke screen for cover as Mattos and his team approached an ISIS hospital being used by the jihadists as a headquarters, Fox News reported. “I was terrified. I had to will myself to go forward,” he admitted. “But I had decided that I was prepared to die to get that little girl out of there… What ISIS was doing was just unreal. How do you shoot a little girl in the back of the head?”
