At 20:59 on 14 August, Sabereen News (KH — affiliated) posted a rendered poster calling a public gathering in Babil — Musayyib, near the Liberation Checkpoint — on Saturday at 15:00, described as a response to an attempt to stir strife and sectarian incitement and a defence of the province's security and stability, and invoking Babil's 2014 fighting against ISIS. The confidence stays at preponderance: the post itself is timestamped and unambiguous, but the item is promotional artwork rather than a record of anything that has happened, and no second source in the collected window mentions the gathering or connects it to the Jurf al-Nasr statements.

“In response to an attempt to stir strife and sectarian incitement, and in defence of the province's security and stability, a public gathering is called in Babil to affirm rejection of the return of terrorism and violence and to preserve calm and security — Saturday at 15:00, Babil, Musayyib near the Liberation Checkpoint”
رداً على محاولة إثارة الفتنة والتحريض الطائفي ودفاعاً عن أمن المحافظة واستقرارها دعوة جماهيرية في محافظة بابل للتاكيد على رفض عودة الارهاب والعنف والحفاظ على الهدوء والامن — يوم السبت الساعة الثالثة ظهراً، المكان بابل المسيب قرب سيطرة التحرير
Two separate factional networks are now competing to define what Babil's security problem is and who speaks for the province, one through the courts and one through a street mobilisation.
