Reports of Da'ish assault on Iraq army's 10th Division HQ in Tharthar, northern Anbar. Military sources say suicide bombers killed.

Da'ish propaganda going into overdrive because of the clashes today in Ramadi and some people are falling for it.

Da'ish assault on military base in the 35 Kilo region, west of Ramadi, has been foiled by #Iraq's Federal Police.
https://twitter.com/IraqiSecurity/status/682964249023528960
3 car bombs: 2 seized and 1 destroyed. 11 Da'ish militants killed and the rest fled

https://twitter.com/IraqiSecurity/status/683019766429265920
Da'ish fanboys declared taking the military base in 35 Kilo from IFP. Reality: they came, shot at the base & fled.
https://twitter.com/IraqiSecurity/status/683022126950051841
What basically happened in Ramadi today: Small Da'ish units launched tiny probing attacks across Ramadi's peripheries. As simple as that.
https://twitter.com/IraqiSecurity/status/683029551526576128
Attacks mainly took place northern Ramadi against abandoned or lightly-manned positions. #Iraq army's 10 Div HQ biggest target (failed)
https://twitter.com/IraqiSecurity/status/683030415792320514
Tiny Da'ish probing attacks also took place 35 Kilo (west) and Husaybah (east) areas of Ramadi's outskirts. Incurred casualties & fled
https://twitter.com/IraqiSecurity/status/683030799390752768

Ramadi - Da'ish claims:
-Clashes in city centre: FALSE.
-Multiple bridges taken: FALSE.
-Houz captured: FALSE.
-10 bases captured: FALSE.
https://twitter.com/IraqiSecurity/status/683033401394380800

Expect more attacks like these on Ramadi's peripheries. Da'ish will divert troops from Jazirat Khalidiyah and Hit to attack Iraq forces

Spoke to #Iraq army contact near Ramadi re: Da'ish images of burning vehicles in Tarah. He said most were totalled/abandoned vehicles.
https://twitter.com/IraqiSecurity/status/683036879344799744
These vehicles were damaged by IED attacks + sniper fire during the battle to take western and central Ramadi.
https://twitter.com/IraqiSecurity/status/683039462327214084
You can tell the position is hardly used due to the lack of soldiers (and casualties) there. Da'ish found totalled Humvees and burnt them
https://twitter.com/IraqiSecurity/status/683041089113190400
KDP Kurds, Ba'athists and the anti-#Iran analyst club got just as excited as Da'ish fanboys about the Ramadi lies today.
