In Baghdadi, ISIL forces have launched a three-front assault
from the western, eastern, and northwestern fronts. The gunmen advanced into
the areas around the town and seized a number of villages. However, Iraqi and
coalition air support was able to delay the advance. Hundreds of mortar rounds
have struck the town's residential districts, causing many residents to rush
towards the remotest parts of the town. Meanwhile the gunmen are still
blockading the town and are not allowing any food or fuel supplies into it.
In Ramadi, clashes and broad military operations have been
underway, particularly in the Hawz district which is still being held by ISIL,
and in the other southern sector districts. Details of the fighting are still
unavailable.
The Anbar Police Commander, Gen. Kadhum Al-Fahdawi,
confirmed today that ISIL forces have been trying during the past few days to
make inroads into Ramadi; he also confirmed that more than 100 ISIL gunmen have
been killed in the central districts of the city.
In Fallujah, mortar fire is still hitting a number of the
city's districts.
In Amiriyat Al-Fallujah, in southernmost Anbar, ISIL gunmen
have attempted to penetrate into the town, but they were confronted by fierce
resistance by the defending tribal forces.
