Italians Hold Montenero Ridge Against Austrian Push
Austrians repeatedly attack across the Isonzo to dislodge Italian forces holding Montenero ridge north of the Gulf of Trieste. Despite heavy rain and floods that hinder fording, Italian troops secure the high ground, with communications to Caporetto maintained. The ridge dominates the Friuli valley and threatens Tolmin and the Predil Pass, linking to actions from Raccolana and Dogna toward the Seebach Valley.
