ISIS cells active: Escalation threatens northeast Syria

Shafaq News/ ISIS attacks are intensifying in northeastSyria, with suspected militants targeting Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)positions in Deirez-Zor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR)reported on Friday.

According to the Observatory, an RPG targeted an SDF post inAl-Tyyanah town on Thursday, causing material damage. A second RPG was fired ata military vehicle dispatched as backup, but no casualties were reported.

    The attack is part of what SOHR described as a “worryingescalation” by ISIS cells in northern and eastern Syria. Since the beginning of2025, it has documented 61 ISIS operations—ranging from ambushes tobombings—across Deir ez-Zor, Al-Hasakah, and Al-Raqqah provinces.

    At least 23 people have been killed in these operations,including 13 SDF fighters, five civilians, and five ISIS members. Most of theactivity has been concentrated in Deir ez-Zor, where 50 attacks have takenplace this year alone, SOHR said.

    The tactics demonstrate ISIS’s ability to adapt to evolvingsecurity dynamics and sustain pressure across the region, the observatorywarned.

    Following ISIS’s territorial defeat in 2019, the groupshifted to insurgent tactics, capitalizing on security gaps and localinstability—particularly in central and eastern Syria—to launch attacks againstthe SDF and civilians.

    The challenge is compounded by overcrowded detentionfacilities in northeastern Syria, which house thousands of former fighters andtheir families under limited security.
