In addition, at the request of the Iraqi government, U.S. bomber aircraft successfully struck and destroyed an ISIL-built earthen berm southwest of
Fallujah near the Fallujah Dam. This berm, or land bridge, was built by ISIL to increase the flow of the Euphrates River into Abu Ghraib canals, which flooded local civilian, primarily Shiite, neighborhoods in east Fallujah, forcing the locals to evacuate. The berm was intended to support several ISIL objectives by flooding the canals and surrounding areas and controlling downstream water supplies. Iraqi and coalition forces therefore determined that this berm was a legitimate military target. Initial reports indicate the berm was destroyed, enabling water again to flow freely.
