Historic Mosque destroyed by ISIS

MOSUL, Iraq – The government of Iraq announced the destruction of the Great Mosque of al-Nuri in western Mosul, by ISIS terrorists, June 21.

The mosque was well known as the place where ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi made his infamous speech July 4, 2014.

The mosque had stood in Mosul for over eight centuries, and its famous leaning minaret earned the city of Mosul the nickname “the hunchback.”

The Coalition is working by, with, and through the government of Iraq to defeat ISIS in Mosul and throughout Iraq. The Coalition contributes to the defeat of ISIS by providing the Iraqi forces with equipment, training, intelligence and surveillance, precision fire support and military advice to leaders. The Coalition has enabled the Iraqi Security Forces to reclaim over 47,000 square kilometers of their land from ISIS for the people of Iraq.

“As our Iraqi Security Force partners closed in on the al-Nuri mosque, ISIS destroyed one of Mosul and Iraq’s great treasures,” said Maj. Gen. Joseph Martin, Commanding General of Combined Joint Forces Land Component Command-Operation Inherent Resolve.

“This is a crime against the people of Mosul and all of Iraq, and is an example of why this brutal organization must be annihilated,” said Martin. “The responsibility of this devastation is laid firmly at the doorstep of ISIS, and we continue to support our Iraqi partners as they bring these terrorists to justice. However, the battle for the liberation of Mosul is not yet complete, and we remain focused on supporting the ISF with that objective in mind.”

CJFLCC-OIR is the ground forces command in Iraq that supports the Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve’s ongoing multi-national Coalition mission to defeat ISIS in Iraq.

Wednesday 21 June – Typhoons struck two Daesh-held buildings in Raqqa, while Tornados and Typhoons destroyed a car-bomb, and four terrorist strongpoints in Mosul…On Wednesday 21 June, a pair of Typhoons assisted Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Raqqa. Two buildings held by extremist fighters were hit with Paveway IVs. In Mosul, a Tornado flight used a Brimstone missile to destroy safely a car-bomb spotted by the Iraqi ground forces. The Tornado flight then used a Paveway IV to eliminate a medium machine-gun team. A mixed Tornado and Typhoon pair were also active that day over the city. A Brimstone attack was directed at a mortar position, while Paveways were used against three Daesh strongpoints, including two housing machine-guns.

Avec l’avancée des lignes de front, l’activité de de la Task Force (TF) Wagram est particulièrement marquée par la défense des zones arrière des Forces de sécurité irakiennes (FSI) face aux actions de harcèlement du groupe terroriste. Daech cherche ainsi à desserrer l’étau qui fait pression sur ses combattants, acculés dans la ville de Mossoul. Les artilleurs français ont ainsi poursuivi leurs missions d’appui de la 15e division irakienne en charge la sécurisation des abords Nord-Ouest de la ville de Mossoul.
Chammal : la Task Force Wagram adapte ses feux

Les missions de tir sont fréquentes et correspondent toutes à des demandes des forces irakiennes engagées au sol pour les appuyer dans leur combat quotidien. La TF Wagram fournit ainsi aux FSI des tirs d’appui lors de la progression de la 15e division vers l’ouest de Mossoul, de sécurisation des terrains récemment conquis et de protection des lignes irakiennes les plus avancées.

Le 1er juin, la TF Wagram a effectué des tirs sur des positions ennemies menaçant, par le biais de tirs de mortiers, de prendre à partie les unités irakiennes au sol. Ce tir de « contre-batterie » a eu pour résultat la destruction de la position défensive des terroristes ainsi qu’un poste de commandement. Pour garantir un emploi de la force adapté aux contraintes d’environnement et répondant aux besoins des forces appuyées, les artilleurs français disposent d’un panel diversifié de munitions qui offre des choix techniques et permet ainsi d’adapter l’effet tactique souhaité sur le terrain.

Le 4 juin, lors d’une demande d’appui formulée par une unité irakienne harcelée par un mortier, les officiers en charge de la vérification des tirs demandés ont opté, en concertation avec le commandant d’unité responsable du contrôle national, pour des tirs de semonce plutôt qu’un tir de destruction sur une pièce d’artillerie en raison de la présence de la population civile non loin du mortier visé. Sur le terrain, la solution a permis de faire cesser les tirs qui menaçaient les troupes irakiennes tout en protégeant les populations qui auraient pu être touchées par un tir à détruire.

L’artillerie française est un levier d’action tactique intégrée à la composante terrestre de la coalition, se réarticulant et adaptant ses feux en cohérence avec l’avance des forces irakiennes et conformément aux règles de contrôle national.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal est le volet français de l’Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR). Il mobilise aujourd’hui près de 1 200 militaires. A la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliés de la France présents dans la région, l’opération Chammal repose sur deux piliers complémentaires : un pilier « formation », au profit d’unités de sécurité nationales irakiennes (Task Force Narvik et Monsabert) et un pilier « appui », consistant à soutenir l’action des forces locales engagées au sol contre Daech et à frapper les capacités militaires du groupe terroriste par l’action combinée des moyens aériens déployés, de la TF Wagram et des bâtiments de la marine nationale.

For June 14th-20th, 19 strikes were made by French aircraft in Iraq and Syria. Most of them were carried out during the Battle of Mosul, in support of the Iraqi fighters engaged in the fighting to drive ISIL out of its positions in the North of the Medina. The other strikes were carried out in support of the fighting for the capture of Raqqah, and against flows of arms and fighters in Iraq and Syria.

APPRÉCIATION DE SITUATION

En Syrie, dans le secteur de Raqqah, les Forces Démocratiques syriennes (FDS) continuent leur offensive.

Leur progression se fait selon plusieurs axes, mais c’est le long des rives de l’Euphrate à l’Est et à l’Ouest de la ville que les percées sont les plus importantes.

Après avoir concédé beaucoup de terrain les semaines précédentes la défense de Daech s’est désormais raffermie. A l’Est, les FDS ont atteint le cœur de la ville, à l’Ouest la progression est désormais difficile face à des combattants de Daech recherchant l’imbrication avec la population, et ayant recours comme à Mossoul à des actions systématiques de piégeage du terrain et de harcèlement.

En Irak, à Mossoul, le recul de Daech se poursuit.

Dans la province de Ninive, les reconquêtes de territoires vers Tal Afar par les Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) se poursuivent. Elles sont complétées par les opérations de la 15e Division pour sécuriser la zone de Kisik et les progressions vers l’ouest, préalables à la poursuite des opérations en direction de Tall Afar. Daech a concentré cette semaine ses efforts de diversion dans le secteur de Hawijah.

A Mossoul l’étau continue de se resserrer sur la médina. Cette semaine, les combats se sont poursuivis en particulier au Nord de la Médina où le complexe hospitalier, dernier bastion des djihadistes en dehors de la veille ville, fait toujours l’objet d’âpres combats. Dans les autres secteurs, Daech maintient une défense acharnée, et profite de toutes les opportunités de la zone urbaine pour mener des contre-attaques complexes et des actions de piégeage et de harcèlement.
