Chammal : point de situation au levant

Cette semaine, la situation militaire a été marquée par une accélération de la progression des forces de sécurité irakiennes (FSI) dans le secteur de Qayyarah. A moins de 75 kilomètres de Mossoul, elles ont établi la jonction entre les rives Ouest et Est du Tigre le 15 juillet. Daech, affaibli par ces combats et les frappes aériennes, continue sa logique de repli pour consolider ses lignes de défense autour de Mossoul.

En parallèle la coalition a intensifié ses frappes sur les régions d’Haditha et de Tal Afar, véritables nœuds logistiques du dispositif de Daech.

En Syrie, dans la région de Deir Ez Zor et à l’Est de Palmyre, Daech continue à perdre du terrain. A Manbij, la situation a peu évolué cette semaine, la progression des forces aux sol étant ralentie par un terrain truffé d’engins explosifs installés par l’organisation terroriste.

Activités de la force Chammal

La force Chammal poursuit la campagne aérienne et les missions de formation et de conseil.

Du 13 au 19 juillet 2016, les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont poursuivi leurs missions aériennes contre Daech, en réalisant 40 sorties dont 38 de bombardement et 2 de recueil de renseignement.

Elles ont permis la réalisation de 6 frappes, aboutissant à la destruction de 11 objectifs de Daech.

3 frappes d’appui au sol ont été réalisées en Irak au cours de la semaine à Sinjar et Ramadi.

3 frappes planifiées ont été conduites en Irak.

Chammal : appui de l’offensive sur Mossoul

Les 17 et 18 juillet, trois frappes planifiées ont été réalisées pour appuyer l’offensive des forces de sécurité irakiennes pour reprendre Mossoul, en frappant les lieux à partir desquels s’organise la défense de Daech.

Le 17 juillet, deux Mirage 2000D ont détruit un important quartier général de Daech dans la région de Mossoul, servant également de caserne et de lieu de stockage de munitions.

Le 18 juillet, toujours à Mossoul, un autre raid de deux Mirage 2000D et deux Mirage 2000N a pris pour cible un complexe de plusieurs bâtiments abritant un poste de commandement, un centre d’entraînement au combat urbain, et un entrepôt de véhicules suicide. Dans le même temps, à Tall Afar, deux Rafale ont détruit un site de plusieurs bâtiments servant de centre d’entraînement.
