Bâghûz was a catastrophe for #IS media. It lost its head Abû 'Abdullâh al-Austrâlî - previously second in command and likely responsible for the English section, the head of the French section Abû Anas al-Firansî (F. Clain), the head of the Russian section Abû Jihâd al-Shîshanî.
Still, the media is working quite okay. It seems that the foreign language department was hit hardest. Usually, a video by al-Baghdâdî himself should have been accompanied by different language subtitle files. As this is not the case I am confident to say that al-Hayât is down.
That is not to say out. If #IS still considers in-house translations to non-Arabic languages important enough to invest time and resources they will be back to form in say half a year.
