MOSUL: People in the Iraqi city of Mosul celebrated their first Eid al Fitr without IS in years on Sunday after the militants were ejected from much of the city, and hoped the battle to recapture the remaining area would soon be over. Children gathered in squares on the eastern side of the city. Some played on old swings and others with toy guns and rifles, which were among the toys allowed by IS militants after they took over the city in June 2014. The militants implemented an extreme version of religion which associated toys with a face, like dolls, with idolatry.
