Ik denk dat Daesh flink in de problemen zit in Irak. Ze kunnen lang niet zo makkelijk vechters Irak meer binnenkrijgen als Syri�. En via Syri� naar Irak is ook niet makkelijk, gezien het een lange reis is en ze makkelijk gebombardeerd kunnen worden. Het is allemaal maar mondjesmaat. Bovendien zijn die nieuwe vechters ook maar gewoon kannonenvoer voor de veel meer ervaren milities en het inmiddels ook ervan ISF en de Peshmerga. Tevens zijn ze al veel van hun tanks en andere hardware kwijt.

Achteraf gezien was hun kritieke fout te wreed te zijn richting minderheden en ook richting andere Soennieten die initieel met hen samenwerkten. Hierdoor verloren ze hun legitimiteit en belangrijke allianties en hebben ze te veel mensen tegen zich in het harnas gejaagd.

Denk dat ze er van uitgingen dat door die wreedheden er extra veel toestroom van klootjesvolk uit de rest van de moslimwereld zou zijn naar hun khalifaat.

En ze vertrouwden erop dat hun lange grens met Turkije in stand zou blijven (steady toestroom wapens, geld, mannetjes via bondgenoot Turkije) maar 100en bommen op hun hoofden in Kobani en de standvastigheid van de Koerden daar heeft die droom ook in duigen laten vallen.

Official: Peshmerga to take part in battle for Mosul
By RUDAW 9 minutes ago

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — A high-ranking Peshmerga official declared Wednesday that the Peshmerga will take part in an anticipated battle for Mosul.

“Mosul is the heart of ISIS and it must be taken out,” Jabar Yawar, the chief of staff of the Peshmerga ministry, told Rudaw, saying that the Peshmerga are ready to fight alongside the coalition to push ISIS out of Mosul.

Yawar claimed that “the Kurdistan region has shown its willingness and will participate in the battle for Mosul.”

“The liberation of Mosul will have a significant impact for the security of Kurdistan and is also in the interest of the whole Iraq,” he continued.

Without Baghdad, the Kurdistan region will not unilaterally wage war against ISIS in Mosul, therefore “the Kurdistan region will have an agreement with Baghdad on how to launch the assault, and the Peshmerga will coordinate the details of military plans alongside the US-led coalition, tribal militants and Iraqi joint forces,” Yawar explained.

He also rejected claims that the Peshmerga will join the battle for Hawija.

“We have no plan to fight ISIS in Hawija, because they are far away from our borders and we have no mutual interests with any party to take part in possible attacks on ISIS in Hawija,” he concluded.

One U.S. soldier was killed and 70 Kurdish hostages were rescued after U.S. special operations forces teamed with Iraqis in a rescue mission inside Iraq Thursday, a Defense Department official told CBS News national security correspondent David Martin.

The New York Times, citing Iraqi officials, reported that special forces conducted a raid early Thursday to free prisoners and capture militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in northern Iraq.

The Iraqi officials told the Times that Kurdish and American special operations forces, supported by U.S. helicopters, participated in the raid near the town of Hawija.

Iraqi Army Liberates More Territory in Western Ramadi While ISIS Resorts to Chemical Attacks in Karma

The Iraqi Army and their popular committees – are rolling in the Al-Ramadi countryside amid the repeated failures by the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) to repel the swarming pro-government soldiers.

On Tuesday morning, the Iraqi Army and their allies struck again in the western countryside of Al-Ramadi as they reportedly killed over 100 enemy combatants (most due to airstrikes) in the last 72 hours before they imposed full control over the 7 Kilo Area.

In addition to their success in western Al-Ramadi, the Iraqi Security Forces and their allies have advanced in the southern sector of the city after a failed attempt by ISIS to counter the gains made by the pro-government forces near the Al-‘Anbar University.

Frustrated by their lack of progress in central Iraq, ISIS launched two large-scale offensives inside the Salahiddeen Governorate, targeting the Iraqi Army’s frontline defenses at the strategic cities of Samarra and Baiji.

ISIS struck the Baiji countryside first, attacking the Makhoul Mountains located just north of the city; however, their infiltration attempt proved unsuccessful, as the Iraqi Security Forces were able to repel the encroaching terrorists.

Meanwhile, at the predominately Shi’i city of Samarra, ISIS attempted to bypass the Badr Brigades’ frontline defenses, only to be stopped in their tracks before reaching its gates – several ISIS terrorists were reportedly killed as a result.

According to Iraqi activist – Haidar Sumeri (@IraqiSecurity) – the Iraqi Security Forces killed over 55 ISIS terrorists and destroyed 15 VBIEDs (Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device) at the outskirts of Samarra yesterday.

Following a series of failed offensives, ISIS terrorists reportedly resorted to using chlorine gas on the soldiers of Hashd Al-Sha’abi at the Jihadist stronghold of Karma; this chemical gas attack was reported by several Iraqi activists, including many journalists on the ground with the Iraqi Security Forces.

Iraqi military says begins clearing Islamic State from Ramadi

BAGHDAD

Iraq's military said on Friday its forces had advanced on three fronts to begin clearing Islamic State militants from the western city of Ramadi, which security forces have been encircling for months.

A municipal official and a police officer at a nearby military base, however, said the advance had not yet begun. Reuters could not independently verify the opposing accounts, due to insecurity and poor communication in the area.

Iraqi forces appeared better positioned than ever this week to launch an offensive on Ramadi, 100 miles (60 km) west of Baghdad, now that months-long efforts to cut off supply lines to the city are having an effect.

The fall of Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, to Islamic State in May was the biggest defeat for Iraq's weak central government in nearly a year, dampening its hopes of routing the Sunni militants from the country's north and west.

Retaking the city of 450,000 would provide a major psychological boost to Iraqi security forces, who have mostly collapsed in the face of advances by Islamic State, which last year seized a third of Iraq, a major OPEC oil producer and U.S ally.

It would also increase pressure on the jihadist group, which is facing multiple fronts in neighboring Syria and appeared to be largely pushed out of the northern Iraqi town of Sinjar on Thursday by Kurdish forces backed by U.S.-led coalition air strikes.

The Iraqi forces began "their advance to liberate Ramadi ... from three directions: the west, the north and the southwest, supported by (the air force) who are currently striking selected targets," said a statement from joint operations command broadcast on state television.

The offensive has been impeded by heavy use of improvised explosive devices, inadequate troops and equipment due to government cash shortages, and stringent rules of engagement for U.S.-led air strikes, according to military and federal police officers involved in the battle.

Deadly clashes in north Iraq close main road to Baghdad: sources

BAGHDAD
Clashes between Kurdish and Shi'ite Arab paramilitary forces turned a northern Iraqi district into a battlefield on Thursday and cut a strategic road linking Baghdad to the northern oil city of Kirkuk, security sources and local officials said.

The violence in and around Tuz Khurmatu, about 175 km (110 miles) north of the capital, left at least 16 people dead, including five civilians, security and medical sources said.

The Kurdish and Shi'ite fighters have been uncomfortable allies against Islamic State since driving the militants out of towns and villages in the area last year with the support of U.S.-led airstrikes.

The tensions risk further fragmenting the major OPEC oil exporter as it struggles to contain Islamic State, the biggest security threat since a U.S.-led invasion toppled autocrat Saddam Hussein in 2003.

Efforts to push back Islamic State have been complicated by sectarian and ethnic rivalries, including a contest for territory which the Shi'ite-led government in Baghdad claims, but the Kurds want as part of their autonomous region in the north of the country.

Thursday's fighting began in the morning when fighters from the Hashid Shaabi, a government umbrella group comprised mostly of Shi'ite fighters, tried to run a checkpoint south of Tuz Khurmatu manned by Kurdish peshmerga forces, security sources said.

Three Hashid fighters and one peshmerga were killed, they said.

When the dead and several wounded were taken to a hospital in the center of Tuz Khurmatu, Hashid fighters clashed with peshmerga and Kurdish secret police known as Asayish, security and hospital sources said.

Snipers took up positions on residential buildings around the hospital, which was also targeted with mortars, witnesses and security sources said.

As clashes intensified, the peshmerga cut the road leading north from Tuz Khurmatu to Kirkuk, while the Hashid stopped traffic leading south to Baghdad, security sources said.

Civilians closed down their shops and sheltered at home.

"The streets are empty. The city is void of its residents. Gun shots can be heard in several neighborhoods," said Hassan Braim, a member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, one of the main Kurdish political parties.

Violence in and around the hospital left five civilians dead along with three peshmerga and four Hashid members, the security and medical sources said.

The clashes ebbed around sunset but locals said snipers were still in position and the situation remained tense.

Hashid and peshmerga leaders gathered at a local municipal building in a bid to end the conflict, security sources and local officials said.

Iraqi army warns of imminent assault on IS-held Ramadi

The Iraqi army has urged people living in the centre of the Islamic State-held city of Ramadi to leave before an operation to retake it is launched.

A security source told the BBC leaflets had been dropped by planes, warning residents the army planned to storm the city within the next 24 hours.

The call, which was also broadcast on state television, told them to use an exit secured by the army to the south.
Ramadi was captured by IS in May in an embarrassing defeat for the Iraqi army.
Last month, the US military said Iraqi troops and pro-government militiamen had essentially encircled the city, located about 90km (55 miles) to the west of Baghdad, and that conditions were set for a final assault.

On Monday, a security source told the BBC that the leaflets dropped over Ramadi had urged civilians living in the city centre to leave because government forces were preparing to storm the city from the south, the west and the north.

They were advised to head to the south-eastern Humayra district, where an exit had been secured, the source said.
"This is the last warning by the security forces to the people inside Ramadi," the source added. "The security forces will storm the city, whether residents are inside it or not."

However, a spokesperson for Ramadi residents called on the government to postpone the offensive.

The spokesperson said thousands of families were being held by IS militants, who had set up checkpoints and threatened to kill anyone who attempted to leave.

The spokesperson said thousands of families were being held by IS militants, who had set up checkpoints and threatened to kill anyone who attempted to leave.
The US military believes there are between 600 and 1,000 IS militants in Ramadi.
It says they have developed a strong defensive system in and around the city, including using improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to create minefields.
