General Mazloum Abdi of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) warns of a potential resurgence of the Islamic State (IS) as Turkish-backed forces increase pressure on Kurdish regions. Abdi cites growing IS activity and the diversion of SDF resources to counter Turkish attacks, complicating efforts to secure prisons holding thousands of IS detainees. The situation remains tense in camps and prisons across northeastern Syria, with families of IS supporters holding out hope for freedom following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
