Security remained unchanged in Iraq during the second week of July. The Islamic State remains at its lowest point in its history and the insurgency is largely over.
There were three incidents during the week, but one of them was an old IED. That compared to just one incident during the first week of July.
The incidents took place in Babil (1), Diyala (1), and Kirkuk (1).
They left two dead and 1 wounded. 1 civilian and 1 Hashd al-Shaabi lost their lives while one civilian was injured.
In Babil’s Jurf al-Sakhr district in the northeast an old IED exploded that left 1 Hashd dead.
Another IED went off in the Abu Saida district in central Diyala that resulted in one civilian injured. This is the area where IS has its main bases. It used to be the most violent part of Iraq but now, like the rest of the country, there is barely any insurgent activity.
Finally, in Kirkuk the body of a man kidnapped in the Hawija district in the south was found. He was likely taken for ransom and his family did not pay up. Abducting people is still a major source of revenue for IS.
