The correspondent for Quds Press in ar-Ramadi reported that the Americans used heavy artillery and tanks to bombard various civilian residential areas of ar-Ramadi, beginning on Monday night and going on to the early hours of Tuesday. The correspondent wrote that the American bombardment targeted several residential areas of ar-Ramadi but hit the ad-Dubbat neighborhood with particular ferocity. The correspondent wrote that many houses were completely flattened by the American attack, collapsing the buildings over the heads of their residents, confined inside by the American-imposed nighttime curfew.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported a source in the puppet police as saying that US warplanes struck the ad-Dubbat neighborhood of central ar-Ramadi late Monday night and again on Tuesday morning. Bombardment destroyed about 20 homes. A source in ar-Ramadi Hospital told Mafkarat al-Islam that his facility had so far received the bodies of 30 people killed in the American attack and 17 more wounded, but that the number was likely to rise because search and rescue operations were still underway and bodies were still being dug out of the rubble at that hour.
That account was confirmed by Quds Press, which quoted Dr. Kamal al-'Ani of ar-Ramadi Hospital as saying that 30 bodies had been brought in and about 20 more had been admitted to the hospital with injuries, some of them sever. Dr. al-'Ani said that the hospital is suffering from a severe shortage of medicine and medical supplies because supplies have not arrived from Baghdad. He appealed to hospitals in nearby towns and cities to rush any aid they could provide to his facility.
Quds Press quoted rescue workers as saying that they were still struggling to pull bodies of victims from the rubble of the houses razed by the American attack. Ahmad ash-Shamari told Quds Press that Civil Defense units and local residents were trying to get to victims still believed buried in the ruins. Ash-Shamari said that the heavy equipment that would be able to facilitate their work would not come into the city because operators feared further American attacks.
Mafkarat al-Islam noted that in the past two days, US forces had been threatening that they were going to strike uninhabited houses, which they said Resistance fighters could use as hideouts. The American attack, however, targeted houses that were still occupied by local families. Quds Press noted that Resistance fire had struck one US helicopter early on Monday evening but that otherwise there had been no clashes between US occupation troops and Resistance fighters in the area attacked by the Americans.
