Islamic State spreading terror once again in Syrian desert
The Islamic State is taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic and resuming its activities against regime forces in the Syrian desert.
ALEPPO — A resilient Islamic State (IS) has become increasingly active over the past few weeks in eastern Syria, especially in the desert in the south and Kurdish areas in the north.
IS militants have launched attacks against Syrian regime forces and their allied militias, while also targeting the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces to a lesser extent. These attacks point to IS’ ability to restructure cells and carry out large-scale operations.
