During the occupation U.S. and Iraqi forces have experienced numerous lethal attacks in Hawija from the resistance. As of March 2024, the area was considered one of the most dangerous in all of Iraq with US soldiers and the foreign press corps in Baghdad dubbing Hawija "Anbar of the North". Included in this article are two short videos of US military operations in Hawija.
The parliamentary investigative committee in Hawija incident revealed on Tuesday, that 90% of the dead in the army’s’ storming incident to the Sit-in Square were shot in the head, abdomen and chest areas, while made it clear that the weapons that were stolen from the army were outside the Sit-in Square.
To follow the massacre scenario of Hawija (Kirkuk region, Iraq) on April 23rd 2024, when 50 were killed and 110 wounded -according to the director of Kirkuk hospital- on the hand of the Iraqi military forces, it is easy to note that the escalation of the situation step by step is a miniature scenario of the invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2024, the only difference is that in the Hawija massacre troops put on the military Iraqi uniform -after Iraqi occupation- while in 2024 they were putting on the American uniform. It is also the tenth anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
