No Iraqi citizens or MNF Soldiers were injured during the operations.

Military officials have stated there is a great rise in number of call-in tips provided by Iraqi citizens, growing from approximately 15 in Nov. to more than 80 in Mar. Iraqi citizens’ assistance through their cooperation with local authorities and Security Forces has been and continues to be crucial in continuing the trend of removing weapons and improving security in Iraq.
