In Fallujah, most of the central, northern,
and northeastern residential districts have been bombarded; a source at the Fallujah General Hospital has reported that at least 6
residents have been killed and at least 23 wounded.
In Al-Garma, military
operations are still underway as part of the security campaign that had been
expected to penetrate into the town but the fierce resistance has resulted in
prolonging the campaign. We do not yet have any resulting casualty figures.
In Ramadi, a military
operation yesterday in the southern and southwestern sectors of the city has,
according to a security source, killed three ISIL commanders. Civilian
casualties included 3 civilians killed by an explosive device in the city's
southwestern sector.
The information available so far is that
there is some coordination in Anbar and also in Nineveh between The Sons of Anbar
Revolutionaries, the Mosul Tribal Council Revolutionaries. These armed groups
are fighting against all of the extremist religious elements, including the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant, that are engaged
in 'sabotage' and the demolition of religious shrines. This new organization is
not connected to either the central or the local governments; they are tribal
groups fighting alongside the 'armed resistance' that was active during the
U.S. occupation. There is thus an armed winging fighting against the groups
of gunmen that been sabotaging and destroying certain targets related to
religious beliefs, including shrines, mosques, and historical sites.
