Iraq: 27 Die in ISIS Attack on Ice Cream Parlor; Families Continue Fleeing Mosul
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Iraq, as many as 27 people have died after ISIS militants detonated a
car bomb outside an ice cream parlor as families were gathering to break
their Ramadan fast early Tuesday. Meanwhile, thousands of families
continue to flee Mosul amid the U.S. and Iraqi militaries' campaign to
retake the city from ISIS. Over the weekend, U.S.-led airstrikes on Old
Mosul reportedly killed at least 15 civilians, including women and
children. As many as 700,000 civilians have already fled Mosul amid
months of fighting.
