There is an ongoing shelling of
Fallujah and its environs since yesterday evening and through noontime today.
Intermittent but fierce battle have been taking place in Al-Garma, northeast of
Fallujah. A preliminary count in Fallujah today shows that 4 citizens have
been killed and 9 were wounded, raising the overall totals in the city to
512 killed and 2,892 wounded.
In Anbar's western
regions, the big police directorate in the town center of Ana was blown up by gunmen.
A security source
has announced that air raids targeted the gathering of a number
of gunmen from the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant in a house or a public place in Al-Qa'im. Yesterday air bombardment targeted
areas along the boundary between Nineveh
and Anbar governorates. We do not yet have any casualty reports regarding that
operation.
There is a
curfew in the western Anbar region, and there no nighttime Ramadan observances.
Citizens are afraid, and furthermore there are shortages of food and domestic
requirements for Ramadan.
Obviously, most
Anbaris are praying for safety and security in their governorate in particular
and throughout the other governorates.
