During November the Islamic State was largely absent from Iraq. The Iraqi Resistance started the month off with a bang carrying out multiple attacks upon Israel. By the end of the month however they trailed off likely due to political pressure.
There was only 1 incident by the Islamic State in November. That compared to 4 in October, 7 in September, 7 in August, 4 in July and 1 in June. The last time there were double digit insurgent activity was back in March when there was 12 and January when there were 13.
For the year the Islamic State is averaging only 5.3 incidents per month. That’s less than half the 11.1 per month seen in 2023. In the last 6 months the group is only averaging 4 incidents per month. These are all signs that the insurgency is largely inactive in Iraq. It has failed to rebuild its networks and leadership and continues to face major losses.
There were 48 drone strikes upon Israel by the Iraqi Resistance in November. That was down from 66 in October the most in any month since the start of the Gaza War in 2023.
There was a spate of attacks during the first two weeks of the month but then they fell off at the end. That was likely due to the groups giving into political pressure from Baghdad as it appeared Israeli retaliation was imminent.
