ISIL gunmen today attempted to assault the Baghdadi township
west of Hit, where the Ayn Al-Asad military base is located. The gunmen did
enter the areas around Baghdadi and into its southern sector where they seized
a number of buildings and several vital positions. Coalition warplanes struck
the bridge between Baghdadi and an outlying village in order to prevent the
gunmen from crossing into Baghdadi. An officer of the 7th Division was killed
in the heavy fighting. A source at the Anbar Command announced that French
warplanes had taken part in attacking the gunmen's positions around Baghdadi
and toward Hit. In other clashes, security forces killed 12 ISIL gunmen.
The gunmen also tried to seize the Malahma village
in Al-Khalidiya, northeast of Ramadi. The gunmen did manage to advance a few
kilometers into the area, and clashes and bombardment are continuing.
In Falluja, the bombardment exchanges have killed one
civilian and wounded 4 others in the city's residential districts.
