6- The latter pose a massive security threat to ISIS which is I slightly disagree with the explanation provided by

1- Mosul has gone through massive social changes over the past 2 years after ISIS lost control of territory. It's something unprecedented in the last 3-4 decades at least. Women in particular are more visible and vocal.
