Underscoring the danger of a resurgent ISIS in Syria, the group made two attacks on Syrian military and pro-government fighters today, killing at least 28.
The larger of the two attacks was made near the ISIS stronghold of Sukhna, where ISIS fighters attacked a bus carrying members of the Quds Brigade. At least 22 were killed and, according to pro-government radio, all were Quds Brigade members.
The Quds Brigade are mostly Palestinian fighters in Syria and have been fighting on the side of government forces throughout the Syrian Civil War. It is unclear why the bus was traveling so close to a dangerous ISIS stronghold often used for attacks on pro-government fighters.
The other attack was on a Syrian military base near al-Bukamal, the town that is the primary border crossing from Syria’s Deir Ezzor Province into neighboring Iraq. Six Syrian soldiers were reported killed.
This is the first attack attributed to ISIS this month, and the first since March when ISIS ambushed and killed eight Syrian soldiers in the eastern desert.
Though ISIS was presented as defeated years ago, the group has been quietly rebuilding in desert areas and has been, in recent months, carrying out attacks proving that they are still a force to be reckoned with.
“The Quds Brigade are mostly Palestinian fighters” Oh No, now ISIS is committing genocide.
The asshole is once more finding a way to downplay the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Ooops again, that would be FUCKING asshole.
Once again showing your lack of education by your inability to use decent language. You foul mouth tells world that your anger is clouding your judgement. As my debating coach used to say, get your opponent so swear and you won the debate.
You must be well off to have a debating coach.
I was a working class kid in a “public” school, which had a debate team and a debate coach. I wasn’t on the debate team, but I happen to remember the debate coach’s name. He was also the school’s speech therapist, and his name was Mr. Word. Yes, really.
Public schools have changed since your time. They no longer have room for debates.
Please. You on a debate team. You barely can string together a coherent sentence. And using adjectives isn’t a sign of anger or a sign of a lack of education you fucking moron.
American CIA operatives murder Syrians!
proxy terrorism.
“The group has been quietly rebuilding in desert areas…”. And we believe in fairy tales. Who is sponsoring? Who is paying those fighters” salaries? Weapons? Ammunition? Transport? Shelter? There is no place they can hide EXCEPT in US controlled Al-Tanf, British controlled HTS, in Idlib or SDF controlled areas adjacent to US controlled energy area. SDF has a camp full of desparare “ISIS”, young men who would do anything to get out of there. SOMEBODY thinks Syria must be destrabilized. Nothing new here. Terrirists always magically appear in any area “anti-terror” activities are found.
Since there are no more Arab country volunteers to fund such projects — I wonder who is now the cash cow and project managers.
In the area of influence of US illegal military base of An Tanf.
“Though ISIS was presented as defeated years ago, the group has been quietly rebuilding in desert areas…”
Gee, I wonder where their money is coming from. Could it be CIA? Or is it MI6?

Lots of those here looking away from Russia’s genocide in Ukraine.
Hypocrisy is a b!tch.
ISIS attacks Syria. People who believe ISIS is our enemy, your IQ is in the negative territory.
We know you would not have considered Hitler your enemy either.
Congratulations, You have a very high low IQ.
DAESH = USA+Israel
Yes, I agree that is a distinct possibility, given how Israel were caught treating wounded Daesh fighters in the Golan Heights a few years ago. We mustn’t forget how the US supported the Mujahideen (Taliban) against the Russians in Afghanistan.
And do not forget that they were almost exterminated when Obama and Erdogan had that 2016 falling apart. Erdogan was originally co-promoter but since then they were recycled into Al Qaeda (first Al Nusra but I appreciate the simplifying within also US-forged Al Qaeda, now the “good guys” of Syria, etc. per the Western propaganda, never mind vertically collapsing towers in NYC). There may be a nuance or two but to me, right now Al Qaeda = Turkey, DAESH = USA (Israel = both).
This could bring us to discuss the Franco-Turkish conflict in Libya, West Africa and elsewhere (Armenia even now) but maybe some other day. Anyway, judging on how the Crocus terrorist attack was excecuted, DAESH is now paying hard money to its fighters, i.e. merely recruiting barely Muslim poor people of any sort.
ISIS? No fcking way. They dont exist.
That must’ve been the Neo Nazis, terrorists, warmonger Ukrainians.
