ISIS controlled vast areas in Syria and Iraq since 2014, imposing a “caliphate” rule before being defeated in 2019 by the international coalition led by the United States, with the assistance of Syrian Kurdish forces.

Since the defeat of the terrorist organization, its fighters have retreated to the Syrian desert and continue to carry out attacks primarily targeting the army and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.
