ISIS used drawdown of US troops from Syria and Turkish invasion to regroup and strengthen its abilities to plan terror attacks abroad, and will likely rebound from the death of al-Baghdadi, according to a new internal US Defense Dept. IG report.
In addition to Turkish forces, Russian and Syrian regime troops entered northeastern Syria in October. All three forces are unlikely to prioritize fighting ISIS, the report said. The largely Kurdish Syrian Defense Forces have pledged to continue operations against ISIS, but were attacked by Turkish forces. It was"unclear how many of the roughly 100,000 SDF forces were still conducting counter-ISIS operations in northeastern Syria" at the time of the report's publication.
"The SDF intended to maintain control of the ISIS detention centers in northeast Syria, albeit with fewer prison guards," the report said.
