Recent developments in Syria have raised concerns about the resurgence of the Islamic State (ISIS) following the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime. Attacks targeting U.S.-aligned Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have intensified, prompting fears of a renewed threat from the extremist group.
The SDF reported that five of its soldiers were killed in attacks by Turkish-backed forces in northern Syria, signaling a breakdown in a cease-fire agreement brokered by the Biden administration. National security advisor Jake Sullivan expressed his apprehension about the return of ISIS, emphasizing the group's ability to exploit power vacuums.
