V. - IX. Isonzo battle
4. IX. Isonzo battle
31 October 1916 - 3 November 1916
The battle was for the first time launched by aerial bombing of Austrian targets - Dutovlje, Sežana and Miramare Castle. The main goal of the Italian leadership became to get as close as possible to Terst. The Campaign was partially successful, because the Italians gained only Veliki Hrib, Opatje Selo, Fajti Hrib and Figovec. Troops advanced by negligible 3,5 kilometrs. The IX. Isonzo battle was ended by bad weather.
