Malahma

Malahma (also: al-Malahma) is a village in Iraq, which is located in the Al Anbar Governorate north west of the city of Fallujah, north of Habbaniyah and river Euphrates, and west of Albu Shejel.[1] West of Malahma lies Khalidiya Island.

It is not to be confused with Malahameh, which is located north of Malahma.[1]

In March 2004, five U.S. soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb in Malahma during the Iraq War.[2]

In September 2015, 20 ISIL fighters were killed by coalition bombardment in the Malahma area.[3]
