IS’s View of the Current Situation in Syria


With the eruption of war in Gaza on 10 May after HAMAS began launching missiles into Israel, it was plausible to think the delay was so that IS could include commentary on that conflict, but such was not the case-or not directly. Though Al-Naba is generally published on a Thursday, Al-Naba 286 was released on Saturday, 15 May. The last two issues of Al-Naba, the weekly newsletter of the Islamic State (IS), had a number of interesting items, most obviously finally breaking its silence on the latest flare-up between Israel and HAMAS.
