US officials said they had tracked al-#Mawla to his hideout in #Idlib, that he never left & that op had been planned for months
Per @UN intel report, compiled prior to the #ISIS leader's death, "The #Idlib de-escalation zone remains important for [#ISIS] as a strategic location providing limited safe haven; some ISIL activity is noted near the Turkish border"

BREAKING -- reports of an attack on the al-Sina prison in al-Hasakeh, NE #Syria, possibly involving an IED/VBIED.

The prison holds 5,000 #ISIS militants, mostly foreign fighters.

Local sources say prisoners conducted some form of incident in coordination with the bombing.
An #ISIS plot to attack al-Sina Prison was foiled in November 2021 -- involving an SVBIED & assault team equipped with a pick-up truck of rifles to provide to #ISIS prisoners inside.

Very concerning to see prisons coming under #ISIS's attention again, in January 2022.
This video reportedly shows the aftermath of a suspected car bomb outside al-Sina Prison's exterior walls:



Some sources say ~20 #ISIS detainees escaped. U.S. aircraft now overhead.

JUST IN: #ISIS attacks in #Iraq #Syria up in April-June 2021 period compared to previous 3 months, per new @DoD_IG report

Warns reduction in violence at #alHol camp in Syria after #SDF sweep in April "may be only temporary" as ISIS retains a "strong presence" per @CENTCOM
MORE: Impact of #Iran-aligned militias has so far been "minimal" @CJTFOIR tells @DoD_IG, "but the attacks often resulted in the diversion of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) assets away from counter-ISIS activities" per acting IG Sean O'Donnell
"Efforts to promote regional stability in #Iraq & #Syria continued to face challenging conditions, including economic crises, drought conditions, & the #COVID19 pandemic" per @DoD_IG O'Donnell "These conditions...provide fertile opportunities for #ISIS to expand its influence"

More nuggets from latest @DoD_IG report on #ISIS

@CJTFOIR says ISIS has been relaying mostly on small arms, IEDs & mortars for attacks in #Iraq #Syria but that attacks in Diyala, Salah ad Din were “more audacious" & showed "extensive pre-operational planning & preparation"
US-backed forces warned of a better prepared, more brazen #ISIS earlier this year, one source telling @VOANews that the terror groups fighters "are spread like cancer"

Like, the US-backed forces, US counterterrorism officials assessed #ISIS had "made incremental, localized improvements to their operating capacity in primarily eastern #Syria..."

[THREAD] On the fascinating reuse of expended munitions by ISIS in #Diyala #Iraq back in early 2015, in a video called "Their Goods were Returned to Them".

I've heard of similar efforts, but it's the first time that I'd seen the process in good detail.
2/ The video starts with a section on the use of Illumination mortar bombs by Iraqi forces- these are, of course used to light up the area at night, to expose enemy movements.
3/ When these come back down (In two sections), they are often in reasonable condition apart from the actual illuminate candle and parachute.

Hence, the tail and midsection unit (Which split in flight to let the parachute drop) can be recovered.

#Irak (1) l’#EI a diffusé une prod 49:11 hier. La majorité des opérations se déroulent en 2019 de nuit principalement #Diyala, #Salaheddine #Ninive. Bcp d’assassinats de simples miliciens, policiers, militaires, informateurs isolés +attaques dans des zones rurales loin des villes
#Irak (2) d’une manière classique l’#EI s’attaque aux récoltes des agriculteurs et propriétaires qui collaborent avec les forces gouv. dans les provinces sunnites
#Irak (3) on remarque les moyens très rudimentaires, ici un canon sans recul & une mitrailleuse lourde 12,7. La mise en scène ressemble à celle des productions de l’EII, on remarque avec le vent que le commandant qui s’exprime a probablement perdu sa jambe droite

Make no mistake - the #ISIS problem is a long, long way from going away, in both #Syria & #Iraq.

Raids, ambushes, assassinations, IEDs, kidnappings, extortion/intimidation etc. It’s all continuing, while everyone proclaims “victory” and the fight [near] “over."
#ISIS is back to bombings, assassinations, kidnappings across #Diyala, #Kirkuk & Salah ad Din - in scenes eerily reminiscent of 2011-2014.

This has been building for weeks, but thanks @LizSly for bringing more attention - the fight is **far** from over.

wapo.st/2mrXJPQ?tid=ss…
@LizSly Former #Iraq-i National Security Advisor al-Rubaie:

- “There's going to be an imminent resurgence of #ISIS. You can see it in the records & the intelligence reports”

More deeply worrying reports, this time from @AbdoGeneive:
