La province de Garmiyan (Halabja) n’a qu’une administration incomplète et reste, en pratique, sous la tutelle de Suleymaniyeh. La région est peuplée à grande majorité de Kurdes sunnites, bien qu’elle compte également des Arabes sunnites, des chrétiens, des Circassiens, des Kurdes Faïli, des Chabaks, des Turkmènes chiites et sunnites, des Kakaï et des Yézidis. La région abrite enfin plus d’un tiers des personnes déplacées depuis la crise de 2014, soit un million de personnes, ainsi que 250 000 réfugiés syriens. Gouvernorat de Dohouk 24 janvier : dans le village de Gali Rashava, dans la région de Deraluk, deux personnes sont tuées, deux blessées et deux sont portées disparues à la suite d’une frappe de l’aviation turque, qui dit viser des positions du Parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan (en kurde : « Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan », PKK). Parmi les victimes figureraient deux membres des Peshmergas1. 25 janvier : à Dohouk, les forces de sécurité kurdes (Asayish) perquisitionnent les locaux de la chaîne de télévision indépendante NRT, emmènent plusieurs journalistes pour un interrogatoire de cinq heures et confisquent leurs caméras et téléphones portables2. 26 janvier : à Sheladze, près de Dohouk, une base militaire turque est attaquée par des manifestants qui protestent contre les frappes aériennes turques visant le PKK3.

    National Counterterrorism Center 2007 Report on Terrorism 30 April 2008 National Counterterrorism Center This page intentionally left blank 1 2007 Report on Terrorism FOREWORD: Consistent with its statutory mission to serve as the U.S. Government's knowledge bank on international terrorism, the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) is providing this report and statistical information to assist academics, policy makers and the public in understanding the data. The statistical information included in this report is drawn from the data NCTC maintains on the www.nctc.gov website. The report includes the following: -- this foreword, which provides important context for the contents of this report; -- a methodology section that explains how the data was compiled and the inherent limitations of the data; -- NCTC observations related to the statistical material; -- statistical charts and graphs; and -- summaries of high fatality attacks during 2007 -- academic letter on challenges to cataloging attacks Section 2656f(b) of Title 22 of the U.S. Code requires the State Department to include in its annual report on terrorism "to the extent practicable, complete statistical information on the number of individuals, including United States citizens and dual nationals, killed, injured, or kidnapped by each terrorist group during the preceding calendar year." While NCTC keeps statistics on the annual number of incidents of "terrorism," its ability to track the specific groups responsible for each attack involving killings, kidnappings, and injuries is significantly limited by the availability of reliable open source information, particularly for events involving small numbers of casualties. The statistical material compiled in this report, therefore, is drawn from the number of attacks of "terrorism" that occurred in 2007, which is the closest figure that is practicable for NCTC to supply in satisfaction of the above-referenced statistical requirements.

    ( רמה כ ז מל ו תשר מה ו ד י ע י ן ( למ מ" מ( ה ש ל מ כרמ ז מה עדימה י עד מל יעידומל ו ד י ע י ן רורטלו ו רטל ו ר ט ןיעידומ ע ה ר Spotlight on Global Jihad May 30 – June 4, 2019 Main events of the week The Syrian arena: The momentum of the Syrian army’s ground operation in the Idlib area resumed after a week of no progress. The Syrian army took over several villages east of the Al- Ghab Plain, where the main effort of the attack is taking place, and advanced northward. In the secondary effort, in the Kabanah area on the Kurd Mountains, the rebel organizations managed to halt the progress of the militias supporting the Syrian army. This week, ISIS carried out a wave of attacks accompanied by a media campaign entitled the Raids of Attrition. This wave of attacks, like its predecessor following the loss in Al- Baghouz1, was intended to reinforce the message that ISIS was enhancing its presence and activity around the world, even after the blow that it suffered in Syria. This combination of extensive propaganda and operational activity is intended to encourage ISIS’s supporters around the world and to enhance the organization’s image of strength. In practice, this week there was a quantitative increase in ISIS’s activity in several provinces as part of the Raids of Attrition campaign (mainly in Syria and Iraq). However, in most of the cases, these were “routine” operations (detonating IEDs, shooting attacks, liquidating opponents), with the exception of the showcase attacks in Afghanistan (see below).

Mahmood Center of Strategic Studies-University of Anbar, Iraq Abstract Anbar society suffers many serious problems after the stage of forced displacement that was caused by ISIL terrorism. Major among these problems are the social problems, like social and family disintegration and locality and tribal tendencies, which have far serious consequences and themselves became the focal point of other negative consequences. Seen from this perspective the current paper seeks to be a step towards the achievement of social peace in the governorate and promote social development through real local reconciliation. The paper proposes an instant mechanism for a social development strategy that comprises programs and procedures that can be followed and be part of development plans of other sectors in the future. The paper adopts the analytical-descriptive method which is suitable in such studies. The paper includes a study of the social status of the governorate, a description of the situation of the displaced and returnees, serial procedures for the study of the proposed strategy like quadruple analysis and regional diagnosis of Anbar society, identifying priorities according to the primary and secondary aims that lead to the strategic programs and their future projects which focus on the integration of all denominations of society and giving priority to youth and females in the achievement of social development in the already weakened Anbar society.

  • ASOR Cultural Heritage Initiatives (CHI): Planning for Safeguarding Heritage Sites in Syria and Iraq1
    ASOR Cultural Heritage Initiatives (CHI): Planning for Safeguarding Heritage Sites in Syria and Iraq1 NEA-PSHSS-14-001 Weekly Report 95–96 — May 25 - June 7, 2016 Michael D. Danti, Allison Cuneo, Susan Penacho, Amr Al-Azm, Bijan Rouhani, Marina Gabriel, Kyra Kaercher, Jamie O’Connell, Anthony Lauricella Executive Summary During the reporting period, combat damage to cultural heritage, already at heightened levels in recent months, appeared to escalate with increases in airstrikes and artillery barrages impacting urban areas. In-country sources reported on a number of damage incidents affecting houses of worship in both Syria and Iraq. In many cases, it is difficult to assess the historical significance of these structures, but the humanitarian impacts are manifest and such attacks will likely heighten ethnosectarian tensions and impede conflict resolution efforts. In Syria, houses of worship and other cultural infrastructure was damaged or destroyed in Aleppo city, Idlib city, and Rif Dimashq Governorate with increases in airstrikes across Syria, particularly over Aleppo and Idlib. Russia has pledged to back SARG’s renewed offensive to reclaim Aleppo, and we anticipate elevated levels of destruction to cultural assets throughout Syria’s M5 highway corridor as well as in Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor in coming months. In Iraq, in-country reports indicate several mosques were damaged by airstrikes and sectarian violence. Iraqi security forces have reached the southern outskirts of Fallujah, while Shia Popular Mobilization Front forces moved in from the north. Ethno-sectarian tensions may result in frequent heritage incidents. In Syria’s Homs Governorate, recent DigitalGlobe satellite imagery dated May 25, 2016 shows the continuing expansion of the Russian/SARG military base within Palmyra’s Northern Necropolis.

    (המרכז למורשת המודיעין )מל"מ מרכז המידע למודיעין ולטרור Spotlight on Global Jihad July 1-7, 2021 Main events of the past week Syria: In the Idlib region, exchanges of fire continued between the Syrian army and the rebels. In one incident (July 3, 2021), eight people were killed by Syrian army gunfire. The fatalities included six children and one woman. In the Deir ez-Zor-Al-Mayadeen region: ISIS’s attacks against the SDF fighters continued. In the Al-Raqqah region: ISIS operatives attacked three oil tankers of the Al-Qaterji company (which supplies oil to the Syrian regime). The tankers were put out of commission and their drivers were killed. Iraq: This week as well, ISIS operated in the various provinces in Iraq, but there has been a decrease in the number of attacks. Many attacks were directed against infrastructure as part of what ISIS calls its economic war. The Iraqi security forces set up a joint operations room to protect the country's electricity infrastructure. The new operations room has thwarted a number of attempts by ISIS to damage the electricity infrastructure. The Sinai Peninsula: According to Gazan sources, a Palestinian from Rafah who joined ISIS several years ago was killed in an exchange of fire with Egyptian soldiers in the Bir al-Abd region. Africa: ISIS’s activity focused mainly on military forces in the various countries. ISIS's West Africa Province (belatedly) claimed responsibility for carrying out a combined attack on a Cameroonian army camp and an aid force that arrived at the scene, killing a total of 26 soldiers.
