From late 20 September into 21 September, KH-, Badr- and AAH-linked outlets reported that Popular Mobilization Forces thwarted an ISIS infiltration attempt against a PMF position at Lake Tharthar, east of Anbar. The fuller accounts said a boat, weapons and food were seized and the remaining infiltrators fled after losses; Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official) omitted the food and loss details. PMF channels have not acknowledged the reported operation.

AAH’s later carriage widened the cross-faction alignment around the reported PMF action, but the alignment concerns the public account rather than ownership by a named PMF unit.
