Near Mosul, Iraq Hundreds of ISIS fighters are fleeing Mosul in Iraq and crossing into neighboring Syria as coalition forces close in on the city, a powerful tribal leader in the region says. Sheikh Abdullah Alyawer, a tribal leader in the town of Rabia, on Iraqs border with Syria, told CNN Monday that dozens of ISIS militants and their families were fleeing the city each day, and crossing into Syria at Baaaj, an ISIS-controlled crossing point south of Sinjar. Coalition forces celebrated better-than-expected territorial gains over the weekend and artillery fire pummeled ISIS positions in the encircled town of Bashiqa early Monday morning in the relentless push for Mosul. One week into Mosul operation, all objectives met thus far, and more coalition airstrikes than any other 7-day period of war against ISIL, he wrote on Twitter, using another name for ISIS. Smoke rises from an ISIS position after a coalition airstrike in Mosul on October 18. 

I personally believe that this can lead to something very dangerous and potentially put us all in danger. From here, we have no idea of what their further plans or have any recognition of future attacks.
