After weeks of rapid attacks in Syria\u2019s eastern desert and central regions, the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) has reemerged in Aleppo, Syria\u2019s second-largest city. A militant cell affiliated with the group targeted General Security forces under the Transitional Government\u2019s Ministry of Interior, sparking clashes that resulted in casualties. The attack came shortly after ISIS issued threats against the new administration, which Washington has urged to join the international coalition against the group and manage the detention of its members.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is this attack an isolated incident or the beginning of a broader, coordinated campaign? And could external actors be involved?<\/span><\/p>\n

On Saturday<\/span><\/a>, the Transitional Government\u2019s Ministry of Interior announced that its General Security Directorate and the General Intelligence Service had completed a joint operation targeting an ISIS cell in Aleppo\u2019s al-Haydariyah neighborhood. The operation resulted in the killing of three militants and the arrest of four others.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ministry affirmed its ongoing efforts to dismantle terrorist cells, stating, \u201cSecurity forces in Syria will continue to strike with an iron fist to protect the country\u2019s safety and stability and confront anyone who seeks to undermine it.\u201d Images and videos shared from the operation showed security personnel seizing explosives, a suicide vest, and uniforms typically used by security forces. One officer was killed during the raid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Car Bomb Attack in Eastern Syria<\/b><\/h2>\n

On Sunday, a car bomb exploded at a police station in the city of al-Mayadin in eastern Deir Ezzor, killing three officers and injuring several others. Security sources suspect the involvement of ISIS cells. Days earlier, militants attacked a grocery merchant in Palmyra after he reportedly refused to pay the group\u2019s so-called “zakat” tax.<\/span><\/p>\n

ISIS Targets Transitional Leader Ahmad al-Sharaa<\/b><\/h2>\n

Last Thursday, ISIS launched a media attack against Ahmad al-Sharaa, head of Syria\u2019s transitional government, following his meeting with the U.S. President Donald Trump in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In its publication Al-Naba, the group described recent political developments\u2014including efforts to remove Iran from Syria\u2014as part of what it called \u201ca war on Islam to safeguard international interests.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The publication criticized Sharaa\u2019s alignment with the Abraham Accords and alleged that regional powers had used financial incentives to secure Trump\u2019s backing. According to the group, Sharaa is driven by a desire for power and is complicit in what it called \u201cfailed compromises aimed at appeasing the U.S. and Israel.\u201d It also called on foreign fighters currently serving in the transitional government\u2019s Ministry of Defense to defect and join ISIS cells operating in rural Syria.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rebuilding and Reorganizing<\/b><\/h2>\n

Hassan Abu Haniya, an expert on Islamist movements based in Amman, Jordan, stated that while ISIS has lost territorial control since 2019, it has transitioned from a territorial caliphate to a security-based insurgency, particularly in Syria\u2019s desert regions.<\/span><\/p>\n

In comments to +963, Abu Haniya said the Aleppo incident appears to be a targeted security operation rather than a sign of widespread ISIS activity. \u201cLast year alone, the group carried out over 500 attacks in Syria despite the presence of the U.S.-led coalition and Russian forces. It\u2019s currently in a phase of reorganization and recruitment, waiting for instability to escalate before reasserting itself more forcefully.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Recruiting Foreign Fighters<\/b><\/h2>\n

Abu Haniya believes the group may attempt to exploit the unresolved issue of foreign ISIS detainees to bolster its ranks. \u201cThis hinges on whether Sharaa\u2019s transitional government can effectively rebuild Syria\u2019s security institutions and coordinate with regional partners and the U.S.,\u201d he noted.<\/span><\/p>\n

He warned that ISIS retains the capacity to conduct large-scale operations and is likely waiting for further political or security disruptions to act. The fragile nature of Syria\u2019s reconstruction and uncertainty surrounding the U.S. military presence and the future of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) pose ongoing risks. Over 10,000 ISIS members remain in detention across northeastern Syria, along with their families in nearby camps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the Trump-Sharaa meeting in Riyadh, White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that Trump encouraged Sharaa to support the Abraham Accords and work with the U.S. to prevent ISIS\u2019s return by taking responsibility for detention centers in northeastern Syria.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most ISIS detainees are held in prisons in SDF-controlled areas in northeastern Syria. On March 10, SDF commander General Mazloum Abdi signed an agreement with Sharaa to integrate civilian and military institutions into the Syrian state framework.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week, the SDF announced a joint operation with internal security forces (Asayish) in eastern Deir Ezzor, resulting in the arrest of 10 ISIS members accused of plotting attacks against security forces, civilians, and public institutions. A cache of weapons and ammunition was also confiscated.<\/span><\/p>\n
