ISIS jail break in Syria draws US attention

 Washington Examiner:

Islamic State fighters in Syria launched a coordinated attack on a local prison housing thousands of ISIS militants that national security experts warned showed the group's capabilities.

The fighting, which broke out in neighboring communities as well, lasted for multiple days while the Syrian Democratic Forces attempted to regain control, and they had air support from the U.S. military.

 National security adviser Jake Sullivan announced in a statement on Sunday that the Syrian Democratic Forces were able to “re-take full control of the Hasakah prison.”

“Thanks to the bravery and determination of the SDF, many of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice, ISIS failed in its efforts to conduct a large-scale prison break to reconstitute its ranks,” he said. “The barbarity of ISIS’s actions during this attack reaffirms why this group must be denied the ability to regenerate and why nations must work together to address the thousands of ISIS detainees in inadequate detention facilities. ISIS remains a global threat that requires a global solution.”

A day later, State Department spokesman Ned Price said that "senior ISIS leaders were captured or killed during the attempt to free detained ISIS members from detention," though he didn't specify any names. He added: "This battle is a reminder that the enduring defeat of ISIS requires the support of the international community."

There is much more.

ISIS remains a threat throughout the Middle East and Afghanistan.  They are using jailbreaks as part of their recruiting effort since they have lost territory to the US and other forces.  Biden's Afghan bug out could make the Afghan branch more capable.
