The Islamic State group on January 20 attacked Syria prison housing fellow jihadists and a military base in Iraq in near side by deadly side operations that revived fears of an IS resurgence.
However, the group of jihadists has yet not released any comment on the attacks, and there is no sign that they are coordinated, but as per analysts, they strongly suggested that the IS is trying to boost its ranks and arsenal in an attempt to reorganise across both nations.
According to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, in Syria, the IS attack on a northeastern detention facility carries the most significant number of IS suspects, which killed at least 23 Kurdish security forces and set dozens of IS fighters are free.
The prison crack that started late Thursday was one of the most significant attacks since its “caliphate” was announced dominated in the war-torn nation nearly three years ago.
As IS detectives launched their proposal to discharge some of nearly 3,500 fellow fighters jailed at Ghwayran prison in the Syrian city of Hasakeh, however, jihadists killed 11 soldiers in an attack on an army base in the east of neighbouring Iraq.
While the Iraq process quickly came under wraps, Kurdish forces in Syria continuously battle with jihadists in Hasakeh, exactly hours after the prison attack started with an IS car bomb the last night, as per the Observatory.
However, some figures were also provided by the war monitor, but it’s not confirmed by any authorities of the autonomous Kurdish region, mentioned that about 40 jihadists were killed in the fight which is going on which also drew in US-led coalition forces.
According to the Observatory, the bold IS operation stitched chaos in Hasakeh, forcing citizens to run the area around Ghwayran prison, and it reported that five civilians were killed.
As per the Umm Ibrahim, “that IS fighters killed his four neighbours, who were forced to flee her neighbourhood near the prison.”
“We left the place because of clashes and fear for our children,” she added.
Most of their guerrilla attacks happened against military targets and oil installations in remote areas.
