The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that ISIS mercenaries carried out 6 attacks in different areas of the Syrian Desert within the areas controlled by the Damascus government forces, killing 15 of the latter's forces and 5 citizens.

These attacks are ambushes, targeting military points and detonating mines, despite the combing campaigns that Damascus government forces claim to have carried out in the Desert in cooperation with the Russian Air Force, which launched dozens of airstrikes on sites where ISIS mercenaries are hiding.

Last July, US Central Command announced that from January to June 2024, ISIS mercenaries claimed 153 attacks in Iraq and Syria, double the total number of attacks for which it claimed responsibility in 2023.
