[Rudaw] Iraqi security forces "fiercely" repelled an attack staged by ISIS Death Eaters on an oilfield in Saladin province on Sunday night, confirmed officials.
The North Oil Company police announced that their forces tasked with protecting the Saladin province's oilfields "defeated an ISIS attack on the Alas Oilfield."
It added the group suffered casualties as a number of the attackers were killed and some others maimed.
"They retreated to an unknown place taking back the maimed with them," it added.
Iraq declared the group defeated in 2017. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... they frequently carry out attacks against security forces and civilians, especially in security vacuums between Kurdish and Iraq forces.
The NOC commended the Hashd al-Shaabi saying they came to the aid of NOC coppers in fighting off the jihadists.
The fresh ISIS attack came a day after the group staged a similar attack on a Hashd al-Shaabi force in Shingal.
Citing a Shiite official in the region, Rudaw's Tahsin Qasim said that three ISIS Death Eaters believed to have infiltrated Iraq from Syria blew themselves up after engaging in a brief confrontation with the Shiite militias.
He said the Hash force did not suffer any fatalities.
After a five-year-long heavy battle, Kurdish-led forces pronounced the death of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

[IsraelTimes] Child taken from Beit El to nearby hospital after bullet strikes his hand; army says shots were fired from adjacent Paleostinian village.
A 7-year-old Israeli boy was lightly injured Monday night, when shots were fired at the central West Bank settlement of Beit El from a nearby Paleostinian village, the IDF said.
The young child was rushed to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center after sustaining a hand wound in the shooting.
The army said that troops were searching the surrounding area for suspects and that the shots had come from the direction of the Paleostinian village of Dura al-Qaraa, north of Beit El.
Doctors at the Jerusalem hospital said the boy was fully conscious, but would likely require surgery.
Responding to the shooting, Beit El Local Council chairman Shai Alon said, "Miraculously, the injury was mild, but the incident could have ended otherwise."
The settler leader called on the army to enter Jalazone, another village north of the settlement, "from which we have endured several shooting attacks." He called for troops to "restore order and settle accounts there."
[Jpost] Despite talks of a cease-fire late Monday night rockets continued to be shot into Israel from Gazoo.
Israel Defense Force fighter jets attacked 15 enemy targets early Tuesday morning, the IDF spokesperson announced as the rocket attacks on Israel's southern communities continued into a second day.
The targets include a military compound belonging to the Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, terrorist organization in Beit Hanun and a military compound belonging to the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad

rumors: Israel wants an end to incendiary balloons (which is pretty reasonable); Hamas pretends these are civilian entertainment (even though the devices the balloons carry are military grade); Hamas expects (with some confidence) its toadies in the UN will back them up on this; Egypt is taking Israel's side on the balloon issue

It's long past time that Israel should use a full battalion of MRLS's as counter battery fire to anything. If you're in the impact zone, well maybe you should start killing these wackjobs when they set up instead of letting them use you as meatshields.

Okay, it was quite for a few hours and now the MORONS started shooting rockets again.
Israel's first response appears to be calling up more reservists and sending another infantry brigade and an artillery battalion to the southern command .

They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) carried out a new ambush against a group of Syrian Arab Army (SAA) soldiers in the eastern desert of the Homs Governorate.
According to a military communique from the Homs Governorate, the Islamic State carried out the ambush along the strategic Palmyra-Deir Ezzor Highway.
This ambush by the Islamic State on Sunday afternoon resulted in the death of at least five Syrian Arab Army soldiers, including one officer with the rank of colonel.
The military communique added that the Syrian Arab Army is now on high alert near the desert cities of al-Sukhnah and Palmyra (var. Tadmur).
Since they lost the eastern countryside of the Homs Governorate, the Islamic State has relied on ambushes and night raids to inflict damage on the Syrian government forces in the region.
These ambushes have become so prevalent that the Syrian Arab Army has been forced to increase their presence across the vast Syrian Desert.
