Text: 🚨 ISIS has resumed operations in Syria, claiming three attacks last week: a strike on an MOI training camp in Raqqa; an attack on an Iraqi fuel tanker in Manbij; and a car bombing in Babila targeting the head of the Justice Palace, who reportedly lost a leg. Islamic State claims responsibility for Aleppo province attack that killed two Syrian soldiers [IsraelTimes] Islamic State claims responsibility for an attack near the city of Manbij in Syria’s northeastern Aleppo province that the Syrian Defense Ministry said killed two soldiers. The militant group makes the claim in a statement on its Telegram channel. Reuters could not independently verify the claim. Earlier on Saturday, the Defense Ministry said two soldiers had been killed by unidentified assailants near Manbij but provided no further details. The attack came amid a series of assaults claimed by Islamic State since February, when the jihadist group announced what it described as a new phase of operations against the government of President Ahmed al-Sharaa. The Syrian government has expanded its control in parts of northern and eastern Syria, and US forces have begun withdrawing from some positions in the country’s northeast, according to Syrian military and security sources.
