1. Following the announcement of the death of Hamas political leader Yahya Sinwar, various militia groups in Iraq have issued statements of condolence.
2. In the early hours of the 19th, a Saudi-owned TV station in the Mansour district of Baghdad was attacked in protest over the reporting related to Sinwar and others. Considering that a similar attack targeted Western commercial establishments (such as KFC and a British educational institution) in Baghdad in May of this year, the possibility of further similar incidents cannot be ruled out.
3. Additionally, the Kurdistan Region is scheduled to hold parliamentary elections on the 20th, which may lead to gatherings with political motives around that time.
4. Given the current situation in the Middle East, security in Iraq could deteriorate rapidly even due to minor triggers. Please continue to gather safety information through the media or security companies and remain vigilant in taking thorough security measures.
