Can the ten plagues, in particular the tenth plague, provide the key to protecting the terrified civilians in Mosul?

Here is a simplified text from Exodus, Chapter xii: Moses to the Children of Israel:

‘Slaughter a lamb, take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood, spread the blood on the lintels of your doors.

Do not leave your homes till the morning. Overnight the angel of death will pass over (hence, Passover) and when he sees your signs he will pass by en route to bringing death to the Egyptians.

Thus will Pharaoh finally release us from the yoke of Egyptian bondage.’

And so, can the Children of Mosul be protected from the onslaught of both friend (not deliberate) and I.S. (deliberate)?”
