The new year started off just like how it ended. That was with little Islamic State activity.
There were 7 security incidents in Iraq reported in the media from January 1-7. That was the fourth straight week incidents were in single digits. 33 of the 48 weeks in 2022 had incidents in single digits. This was a sign of how weak the Islamic State currently is.
Incidents during the week took place in Baghdad (4), Diyala (2), and Ninewa (1).
In Baghdad there were 3 killed and 2 wounded and Diyala saw 1 death. 2 civilians and 2 members of the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) lost their lives and 2 ISF were injured.
All four of the incidents in Baghdad took place in the Tarmiya district in the north. That included an IED being dismantled, another blowing up on some police, and two shootings aimed at the army. Tarmiya is a long time insurgent base.
A suicide bomber was killed during a security sweep and a body was found shot in Diyala.
Finally, the Hashd were attacked in Ninewa.
Only the last attack was offensive in nature. The rest were aimed at keeping civilians and the government out of IS areas. This is about all the insurgency is currently capable of.
