The second week of April started with a major surge in violence as the Islamic State launched their annual spring-summer offensive. Then the Iraqi forces had a major coup when they took an IS headquarters in the Hamrin Mountains capturing important documents and killing a major insurgent leader. Can this setback derail the new campaign or was the week a preview of things to come?
There were 41 attacks from April 8-14, the most since the
third week of October 2018. After the last spring-summer offensive ended the
militants largely packed up for the winter. They came out this week kicking off
a new
campaign called Revenge of the Levant after the group’s recent loss of its
last territory in eastern Syria. Anbar and Diyala with 12 each had the most
incidents.

The new offensive resulted in a large number of casualties.
There were 28 deaths and 42 wounded. 3 Hashd al-Shaabi, 5 Iraqi Security Forces
(ISF), and 20 civilians lost their lives, and 11 Hashd, 13 ISF, and 18
civilians were injured. Diyala with 22 casualties, and Anbar and Salahaddin
with 14 each led the country.
Anbar was at the center of the new IS campaign. There were
12 attacks there including 7 suicide bombers killed in three separate
incidents, a gun
battle with the insurgents in Garma, and a man
escaped an IS kidnapping.
For the second week there were attacks in Babil. Usually
there are only one a month. This time there was a shootout and an
IED,
both in Jurf al-Sakhr where almost all violence in the province takes place.
The confrontation here and in Garma, Anbar were said to be the start of the new
IS offensive.
There were two incidents in Baghdad from April 8-14, one in
the outer
north and the other in the outer
south. If the militants want to challenge the government they must
eventually return to the capital. There have been several weeks since the start
of the year where there were no incidents in Baghdad, which was a dramatic
change since the governorate routinely used to have the most violent in Iraq.
Diyala, Kirkuk, Ninewa, and Salahaddin are the main areas IS
is operating in. Diyala had 12 incidents including one
gun battle, one ambush of the
Hashd, and sniper
fire at a checkpoint. IS also released a video
in which they beheaded a mukhtar and executed seven others from the province.
Kirkuk had four incidents, only one of which was serious when an IED
hit a patrol and then the response units of the police were ambushed. In
Ninewa a sheikh was killed
by an IED along with two other incidents. Finally, Salahaddin had 6 incidents
including a car
bomb that targeted a Hashd commander in the Baiji district in the west, a
suicide car bomb was
destroyed in a security operation, and a Hashd convoy was attacked
and the rescue forces were ambushed as well. The Islamic State is active in
almost all the rural areas of these provinces. They are collecting taxes,
imposing control, and the government has not responded well. That’s due to a lack
of good intelligence, mass arrests which turn the population against the
security forces, and ineffective security sweeps, which are almost always in
response to insurgent activity instead of being proactive.
Despite those limitations the Counter Terror Services (CTS)
and Hashd backed by the air force and Coalition air power launched a surgical strike
at an Islamic State headquarters in the Hamrin Mountains which stretch across
the Diyala-Salahaddin border. Heavy rains were said to have forced the
militants out of their caves and exposed them to attack. A large number of IS documents
were captured that detailed the names and plans of the group, and an IS
leader was killed as well. CTS General Abdul Wahab al-Saadi claimed
that this raid ended the Islamic State’s Revenge of the Levant campaign. That’s
yet to be seen, but this was a very important operation.
