Mosul...
FWIW: Geolocation of two of the videos showing executions in Mosul, #Iraq. http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=36.352916&lon=43.125643&z=19&m=bs …
The same source "the commander of 16th division ordered his soldiers 'annihilate them, use ur tanks, don't leave anyone behind'"
The decision of Mass Executions of the remaining civilians in the old city was solely taken & executed by the 9th & 16th divisions.
Al-Saadi, Riyadh Jalal & Yarallah refused the decision but the leaders of the 9th & 16th army divisions executed the decision.
A private source to Mosul Eye: a heated altercation occurred between Al-Saadi and the head of the 9th & 16 army division+
Mass Executions"Speicher Style" for the last survivors of the old city.ISF is killing and throwing bodies of everyone it finds to the river.

If SDF engages in extrajudicial executions , any different from ISIS - in that specific regard ?
2/ We dont know identity of man getting shot. Not clear if he's civilian or with ISIS. Killers in clip speak one Kurdish word, rest Arabic.
3/ I am trying to get in touch with SDF media office to get a response to this video. Will update you as soon a possible. @akhbar
4/ I just spoke to Mustafa Bali, head of media office of SDF here in N-Syria. He says SDF is aware of video, investigation already started.
5/ Mustafa Bali of SDF tells me in response to the execution video: what happened is a crime. No justification. Culprits will be punished.
6/ Mustafa Bali of SDF tells me: We don't know who killers in vid are. We don't know if they are YPG or SDF. We're trying to determine that.
7/ Mustafa Bali of SDF: all these details will be determined in investigation. If video is real, culprits will be found and punished.
