On July 10, 2017, French and Malian forces ambushed jihadists from Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin near Djebok, Mali.

Prelude

Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin formed in early 2017 as a coalition of five jihadist groups that rebelled against the Malian government in 2012.[1] During the French intervention in Mali, Franco-Malian forces conducted searches across the country routinely to spot jihadists.[2]

Ambush

A vehicle carrying armed men was spotted by two French helicopters during a reconnaissance mission near Djebok on July 10.[3] The jihadists opened fire on the aircraft, so the French forces shot back.[4] Four groups of Malian commandos were deployed to the area, with the French and Malian armies countering the jihadists.[4][3]

Aftermath

The French army stated that two heavily armed pick-ups were destroyed in the fighting, and that several jihadists were neutralized.[3] In a follow-up press release, the Malian army stated on July 13 that a dozen jihadists were killed in the ambush in Djebok, along with one jihadist killed in a separate incident in Talataye.[3][4]
