The Militia Digest
Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) carried five guest statements pressing PMF Chairman Falih al-Fayyad to answer parliament, expanding the previous day’s push for a hearing. The speakers agreed on scrutiny but split over the remedy: immediate resignation, possible questioning or dismissal if negligence over the reported Saudi strike were proved. AAH itself issued no demand for Fayyad’s removal.
On the weapons file, Sabereen News (KH — affiliated) relayed what it called a final warning from a KH security official, while Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated) rejected surrender in favor of organization. Al-Ahad TV, iNEWS (KSS — affiliated) and Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) carried government language about restricting weapons to state hands but endorsed neither position. Separately, a Badr lawmaker and an Al-Ahad guest both stopped short of unconditional surrender: one left conditions unspecified, while the other linked regulation to ending the Turkish presence. No faction announced a weapons handover.
In Doura, six faction-linked outlets agreed that gunfire during an encroachment-removal operation killed two police officers, but only Sabereen News linked the shooters to Saad al-Aithawi’s group. No Iraqi militia claimed responsibility, and the named group’s factional affiliation was not identified. Press reports said the prime minister ordered a manhunt and parliament recommended an inquiry.
On Syria, a Badr parliamentary bloc lawmaker said Badr would adopt a position if Shiism or holy sites were threatened. The statement, carried by Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official), specified no armed action, target or timetable.
Muhammad al-Baldawi (AAH — Sadiqoun bloc) said Sadiqoun members asked the prime minister to refer two PMF laws to parliament. He said an official agreed they would be sent later, but for parliamentary consideration.
