Operation Marne Torch refers to two operations launched by U.S.-led Coalition forces in 2007 against al-Qaeda in Iraq in the Arab Jabour area of Babil province. This campaign is named after Operation Torch, the joint US/British invasion of French North Africa in 1942, presumably because of the two operations' similar thrust into the enemies' southern underbellies. Marne Torch II was launched on 15 September 2007 in the Hawr Rajab area. The operation resulted in the killing or capture of 250 insurgents, the destruction of twelve boats transporting weapons, and uncovering 40 weapon caches.

Juni 2007 mit Angriffen der Koalitionstruppen und der irakischen Armee auf Stellungen der al-Qaida und anderer Extremistengruppen in Arab Jabour. Ziel war es, Rückzugsorte der Aufständischen und Extremisten im Süden von Bagdad zu erobern. 2.000 Soldaten der Koalition sowie 1.000 irakische Sicherheitskräfte waren an dem Einsatz beteiligt. (de)
