ISIS Re-Emerges In Syrian Desert Swearing Allegiance To New Caliph |
2022-12-21 |
Islamic State Organization (ISIS) publicized on Monday through close media outlets a video, showing its militants swearing allegiance to the “ISIS new caliph” in Syrian Badia. ISIS-run Amaq news agency publicized the video that was entitled, “Indeed Allah will help those who help Him,” presenting dozens of ISIS militants masked and carrying machineguns. On Nov. 30, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced death of the ISIS leader, Abu al-Hassan al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, by the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in Daraa Governorate, southwest Syria. Earlier on the same day, the organization’s media affiliate al-Furqan aired an audio by the group’s spokesman Abu Omar al-Muhajer, announcing the death of al-Hassan al-Hashimi. The group named Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Qurayshi as new leader. Abu Omar al-Muhajer, in the footage, called for joining ISIS and “Jihad” against “infidels,” as he put it. He also called for swearing allegiance to the new caliph and “revenging” the killing of the group’s former caliph. Other video footages were publicized, showing a number of ISIS militants in different areas swearing allegiance to the new caliph, as they were wearing different uniforms, including that of ISIS and Syrian government forces. The footage showed four-wheel drive vehicles, AK-47, PK machineguns, RPGs, and flags tagged with “Wilayat al-Sham.” Nature of the area that was presented in the footage indicated that it is more likely that it was filmed in the Syrian Badia, between Deir ez-Zor, east of Syria, and Homs, central Syria. The organization keeps camouflaging its militants’ faces and their weapons in the publicized videos. The video showed one militant wearing jeans although ISIS had previously prohibited wearing jeans during the period in which ISIS used to take power of areas in Syria and Iraq. On Dec. 6, ISIS publicized photos, presenting militants swearing allegiance to the “new Caliph”.
