The resurgence of Daesh in Syria has become a significant concern following the fall of the Syrian regime. The terrorist group has taken advantage of the chaos and the international community’s preoccupation with other crises to reorganize and expand its operations. Daesh has been carrying out frequent attacks, approximately one every 60 hours, targeting various areas in North and East Syria, resulting in numerous casualties among civilians and security forces.
The Monitoring and Information Center (MIC) has documented these activities, highlighting the group’s ability to mobilize both active and sleeper cells. The Internal Security Forces have intensified their counter-terrorism efforts, conducting several operations that have led to the arrest and neutralization of many Daesh members.
Daesh has exploited various factors to strengthen its presence, including the use of tunnels built by other militias, recruitment from radical groups, and the strategic link between Syria and Iraq. The group has also focused on training a new generation of fighters and leveraging tribal networks in the region.
The situation in detention centers housing Daesh members remains volatile, with fears of potential prison breaks. The Transitional Government’s demand to oversee these prisons has raised concerns about the possible release of Daesh leaders, which could further destabilize the region.
Daesh continues to promote its activities through media and propaganda, encouraging lone wolf attacks and maintaining a presence in areas controlled by the Transitional Government. The international community’s reluctance to provide sufficient support to counter Daesh’s expansion poses a significant threat to regional stability and security.
