CHAMMAL

SITUATION

En zone irako-syrienne, les combats se concentrent maintenant sur l’axe Abou Kamal / Al Qaim, corridor reliant les parties syriennes et irakiennes de l’Etat islamique restant.

En Syrie : les combats se rapprochent d’Abou Kamal

En Syrie, les combats se rapprochent d’Abou Kamal. Les forces du régime y seraient rentrées tandis que les forces démocratiques syriennes, soutenues par la coalition, progressent plus au Nord, sur la rive Est de l’Euphrate.

En Irak : début de l’offensive dans l’Anbar

En Irak, l’offensive pour chasser Daech de l’Anbar a débuté. Les principales batailles sont attendues à Rawah, Al Qaim et Akashat, les trois dernières villes tenues par Daech.

Les efforts se concentrent actuellement sur la vallée de l’Euphrate avec pour premier objectif la reprise d’Al Qaim.

L’offensive sur Al Qaim a été lancée le 03 novembre et se déroule selon le plan prévu bien que des conditions météorologiques difficiles compliquent les mouvements et l’appréciation de la situation. Les opérations de sécurisation se poursuivent, les forces de sécurité irakiennes subissant des tirs indirects ou de harcèlement de la part des combattants de Daech.

D’une manière générale, la résistance de Daech a été faible comparée aux combats précédents, s’expliquant sans doute par un début de mouvement de dispersion de certains combattants de Daech vers les zones désertiques situées au nord d’Al Qaim.
