Security In Iraq Jul 15-21, 2023


The Islamic State barely operates in Iraq these days. The third week of July was another example of that. There were only 2 security incidents reported compared to 3 the second week of July and just 1 the first week. This was the 24th straight week that incidents were in single digits. Overall 26 of the 27 weeks so far in 2023 have seen single digit violence.

 

The week’s incidents took place in Anbar (1) and Babil (1).

 

One person was wounded in Anbar.

 

And IED exploded in the Thar Thar district of Anbar leaving one injured soldier. In northern Babil a grenade was thrown into a civilian's car with no casualties. These types of attacks are common for the Islamic State these days. It is incapable of carrying out any serious offensive operations and is largely relegated to small harassing attacks meant to keep out people from its base areas.
