Security In Iraq Nov 15-21, 2024


Both the Islamic State and the Iraqi Resistance were active in Iraq during the third week of November.

 

In Salahaddin an IED went off in the Tuz Kharmato district of eastern Salahaddin that left 3 soldiers dead and 3 more wounded. This was the first time the Islamic State carried out an incident in four weeks. Since the end of September insurgent attacks have decidedly fallen off. There were not many of them before that.

From November 15-21 the Iraqi Islamic Resistance launched 9 drone strikes on Israel. That was down from 19 the week before. Perhaps the Iraqi government’s pleading with these pro-Iran groups finally had an effect. Baghdad is worried that Israeli retaliation is just around the corner. In total there have been 46 attacks on Israel in November.
