Terrified ISIS leaders leaving besieged city of Mosul in their droves – many crashing their vehicles in their desperation to flee
But the gutless terror thugs refuse to let doctors flee the carnage
TERRIFIED Islamic State leaders are fleeing the besieged city of Mosul in droves – and many are so desperate they crashed their cars trying to escape.
Dissident group Mosul Eye revealed that ISIS military leaders and many troops have abandoned their headquarters and military checkpoints.
It tweeted: "So far, it is quiet in Mosul. No presence of ISIL, and total disappearance of ISIL in some of the neighbourhoods on the Eastern bank.
"Several car accidents of ISIL vehicles were reported. People are very quiet, and the city is in total silence."
Meanwhile, hardliners from the under-fire terror group are keeping doctors hostage in the Iraqi city’s hospital and threatening them with death if they leave.
They’ve left booby-trapped vehicles and offices behind and are throwing dozens of teenage suicide bombers against the Iraqi government and Kurdish forces now trying to re-take Iraq’s second city - the terror group's last stronghold in the country.
Mosul Eye revealed this morning: "ISIL (another name for ISIS) is holding doctors hostages in Aljamhouri hospital and threatening to execute them if they leave the hospital.

'EVERYTHING IS FINE, NO UPRISINGS HERE'
ISIS has crushed a rebellion against them in Mosul, according to Iraqi media, but the terror group claims everything is 'safe and normal'.
“Through their media arm in Mosul, IS (Islamic State) announced that they had crushed a rebellion against Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (the leader of ISIS) by the ‘Islamic police force’,” a local resident told Iraqi news site al-Sumaria.
The leader of the failed insurrection was named as Abu Othman, the chief of the terror group''s police force in the city.
Othman reportedly launhced attacks on four sites where IS leader al-Baghdadi was thought to be in hiding, a separate source told al-Sumaria.
“IS fighters killed the head of the police force along with some companions, and then carried out mass executions against dozens of members of the police force in areas where the clashes had happened,” the source said.
Meanwhile, ISIS released footage of people in Mosul and claim the city is "safe and life is normal".
Islamic State-linked news agency Amaq claims the footage, which shows people shopping and eating out, shows "interviews with civilians".
In the footage, a man says: "It is safe and life is normal. Satellite channels are lying. All their reports are lies."
"ISIL evacuates the university of Mosul entirely, and a very weak presence of ISIL was registered on the Eastern bank."
Yesterday the Sun reported RAF warplanes have joined in the air campaign against the terror group after the offensive started.
The RAF has supported ground forces in the run-up to the attack, but it is understood that British warplanes supported ground troops moving on the northern Iraqi city.
