(ISIS) in northeast Syria.

The report covered the military operations’ details conducted in Syria by either Washington alone, or in partnership with the local forces between July 1, 2021 and September 30, 2021.

"In Syria, ISIS appeared to be consolidating in the desert and poised for increased activity in the next stage of its insurgency," the report said.

"The group [ISIS] also continued to focus activity in the al-Hol displaced persons camp, where it continued recruitment and indoctrination activities," it added.

The report pointed out that the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) with Coalition support, "continued improve security at detention facilities holding ISIS fighters."

additionally, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) continued to adjust stabilization projects in Syria due to reduced funding, according to the report.
