collective punishment; Mosul without water

Brows­ing through at least 50 news­pa­pers and web­site, not many reports about the “real” sit­u­a­tion in Mosul right now except repeat­ing or trans­la­tion news agen­cies report which totally “unre­li­able”, take this report for exam­ple on al-Hayat:

Mosul gov­er­nor Duraid Kash­moula told al-Hayat that the tribal chiefs [in Mosul] asked the gov­ern­ment to arm them to par­tic­i­pate in the mil­i­tary oper­a­tion and defend their areas.

While the real­ity is and accord­ing to Jor­dan­ian news­pa­per al-Ghad, the tribal chiefs prob­a­bly were ask­ing for water:

The Coun­cil of Arab tribes in Mosul reported that the gov­ern­ment cut off water sup­plies from the right side of the city for two days as part of col­lec­tive pun­ish­ment pol­icy against Arabs who refused to deny their pan-Arabism, and reject the cam­paign of “Kur­dishiza­tion” of the city

In a let­ter addressed to the news­pa­per, the coun­cil rejected the par­tic­i­pa­tion of Badr mili­tia and Kur­dish Pesh­mer­gah mili­tia in the mil­i­tary oper­a­tion, and Kur­dish mili­tia close the gates of the Mosul dam that pro­vide water to the area

Also Mp Osama al-Najfi who rep­re­sents Mosul in the par­lia­ment said that the Kur­dish mili­tia is forc­ing the peo­ple in Mosul to sign let­ters that say their prop­er­ties belong to the Kur­dish areas.

I asked few days: Who are these civil­ians on mil­i­tary vehi­cles going to Mosul?
