US Army warns: ISIS attacks to double in Iraq, Syria
The US military warned that ISIS is trying to re-establish itself, while an American official indicated that ISIS claimed responsibility for 153 attacks in Iraq and Syria during the first six months of 2024, compared to 121 attacks during the past year.
The US Army Central Command said today that ISIS is trying to re-establish itself, and the number of its attacks in Syria and Iraq is on track to double compared to last year.
Central Command announced in a statement that ISIS claimed responsibility for 153 attacks in both countries during the first six months of 2024. According to a US defense official, ISIS was behind 121 attacks in Syria and Iraq during 2023.
US Central Command explained, “The increase in attacks indicates that ISIS is trying to re-establish itself after several years of declining capabilities.”
This comes 10 years after ISIS announced the establishment of a “caliphate” over vast areas of Iraq and Syria, which were equivalent to half the area of the United Kingdom.”
