ISIS remnants have killed around 4100 people in over 2550 attacks in Syria since 2019, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) announced on the 10th anniversary of the declaration of the so called ISIS caliphate.

According to data sent to The New Region by SOHR founder Rami Abdulrahman, the group has conducted 1,660 attacks in the areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) east of the Euphrates, in which 1341 people have been killed, including women and children.

Despite intense security operations conducted by the SDF, the group has killed 75 people in 138 attacks since the beginning of 2024.

The SOHR report added that around 2750 people have been killed in the Syrian desert despite Russian presence in over 900 attacks.

“The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights renews its call to the UN Security Council to refer the file of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Syria to the International Criminal Court, so that the killers of the Syrian people, along with their commanders and instigators, may receive their punishment,” the SOHR report concluded.

ISIS took control of swathes of Syrian and Iraqi territory in 2014, announcing their self-proclaimed caliphate with the city of Mosul as its capital. They were terretorially defeated with assistance from the US-led coalition forces in Iraq by 2017 and in Syria by 2019.

However, the group still carries out occasional hit-and-run attacks and ambushes in several Syrian and Iraqi territories.

This comes as the Iraqi government seeks to end the global coalition’s mission in Iraq. However, the global coalition’s mandate also includes Syria, raising questions about what will happen in the event of a global coalition withdrawal from Syria as well.
