| Four Iraqi civilians were wounded from indirect fire attacks by militia landing in Baghdad communities and residential areas July 18-21. Fifteen separate attacks hit Baghdad residential neighborhoods during the four-day period. A single rocket impacted the al-Nidal area of the Rusafa District, wounding three Iraqi civilians and causing minor damage to the al-Nafees Hospital July 18. One other Iraqi civilian was wounded when rocket impacted the al-Zawrar residential area in the Karkh District in central Baghdad that same day. Over the past three days, all 15 attacks have occurred mostly in the New Baghdad and East Rashid Districts on the east side of the Iraqi capital. Other areas that have been targeted less frequently have been the Karkh, Rusafa and the Karadah Districts. Neighborhood areas and residential communities that are continually targeted include al-Amin, al-JazaÂ’ir, al-Baladiat, al-Zubaida and most recently al-Ghartan. Ten of the 15 militia indirect fire attacks struck these neighborhoods, with 23 mortar and rocket rounds impacting these Baghdad communities since July 18. |
