ByQassimAbdul-Zahra The Associated Press CAMPTARIQ,IRAQ Thebat- tle for Fallujah is shaping up to be unlike any of the other assaults in the Iraqi military's town-by-town war with the Islamic State group. In the nearly two weeks since the operation began, airstrikes have been used sparingly, Shiite militias have so far been kept to the perimeter, and the ini- tial advance on the symbol- ically important town has been slow. U.S.-trained Iraqi coun- terterrorism forces, wary of coming street battles in the city, are already fac- ing fierce resistance on the outskirts from well-en- trenched militants. Those fighters are believed to in- clude many foreign jihadis who are considered bet- ter-trained that the ones in towns that have been re- taken in recent months. In Ramadi — the last ma- jor victory for Iraqi forces against IS — many of the militants were able to flee to other strongholds along the Euphrates River valley. Now, all of that territory has been cleared, and the extremists have no escape route from Fallujah. That suggests a long fight for the city less than an hour's drive west of Bagh- dad. While Fallujah is smaller in area than Ramadi, an es- timated 50,000 people are trapped in the city, twice as many as were in Ramadi when it was recaptured. Aid groups say about 1,000 families have man- aged to flee the outskirts of Fallujah since the operation began May 22. But the Nor- wegian Refugee Council, an international humanitarian group that does extensive work in Iraq's Anbar prov- ince, says none of the civil- ians trapped in the center of the city have made it out. Residents have told The Associated Press that IS fighters tightly control all roads in and out of the city and have threatened to kill anyone who tries to escape. "There is a clear differ- ence between the Fallujah and Ramadi operations," said Iraqi military Brig. Haider al-Obeidi. The terrain is a chal- lenge, he said, because the outskirts are dotted with orchards and irrigation ca- nals that give IS fighters working in small mobile units an advantage over the slow-moving convoys of ar- mored vehicles The fighters his men are encountering are better trained than those in per- vious battles, al-Obeidi said. Military commanders are reporting larger numbers of foreign fighters in Fallujah. "Their snipers are smart, they hit essential parts of the bulldozers' engines and Humvees' wheels," he said. Repairing them takes time and slows advances, and the forces have not received any new weaponry or additional training that would help, al- Obeidi said. The troops have few op- tions beyond trying to pro- tect their units from IS counterattacks, he said. As streets are cleared, they plan to erect roadblocks to guard against suicide car bombs, one of the deadliest IS tactics. Iraqi forces are continu- ing to move forward, snak- ing through the desert on Fallujah's southern edge. Smoke rose Friday from a cluster of factories and in- dustrial buildings in the area. On the city's north- eastern edge, Shiite militia forces fired mortar rounds into the city from suburbs cleared by Iraqi federal po- lice. Another big concern in the assault is the tension be- tween Sunnis and Shiites. Fallujah, part of the Sunni heartland of western Iraq, has long been a bas- tion of bitterness toward the Shiite-led central gov- ernment in Baghdad that emerged after the 2003 U.S. invasion that toppled Sad- dam Hussein. The city was the heart of the Sunni insurgency against U.S. forces in the mid-2000s that eventually gave birth to al-Qaida in Iraq. As revolution swept across the Middle East in 2011, Iraq's own anti-gov- ernment protest move- ment began in Fallujah and quickly mobilized millions across the Sunni-major- ity provinces. The Islamic State group took it over in 2014.
