“SOHR: IS gunmen mount deadly attacks in Syria, Iraq; dozens killed,” SOHR, January 21, 2022 (thanks to Henry):
The Islamic State group launched sophisticated attacks in Syria and Iraq, including an attempt to break into a prison where suspected extremists are being held by U.S.-backed fighters, officials said Friday. Dozens of detainees in Syria and 11 Iraqi troops were killed.
The separate attacks are believed to be some of the largest since IS lost the final sliver of territory it held nearly three years ago. In recent months, IS sleeper cells have become more active in both countries, claiming attacks that have killed scores of Iraqis and Syrians.
In Iraq, IS gunmen attacked an army barracks in a mountainous area north of Baghdad early Friday, killing 11 soldiers as they slept, the Iraqi military and security officials said.
The officials said the attack occurred in the Al-Azim district, an open area north of the city of Baqouba in Diyala province. The circumstances of the attack were not immediately clear, but two officials who spoke to The Associated Press said IS militants broke into the barracks at 3 a.m. local time and shot dead the soldiers, before fleeing.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they weren’t authorized to issue official statements. An Iraqi military statement said the dead included an officer with the rank of lieutenant and 10 soldiers.
The brazen attack more than 120 kilometers (75 miles) north of the capital Baghdad was one of the deadliest targeting the Iraqi military in recent months.
In Syria, more than 100 IS fighters using heavy machine guns and vehicles rigged with explosives attacked the Gweiran Prison in the northeastern city of Hassakeh where some 3,000 suspected IS militants are being held, according to a spokesman for the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, Farhad Shami. He said seven U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters were killed and several others were wounded. At least 23 IS attackers were also among the dead, he said.
“This is the biggest attack not only in Syria but also in Iraq and the region,” Shami said in reference to attacks carried out by IS since they were defeated in Syria in March 2019. “The prisoners include commanders and are among the most dangerous.”
The complex attack was mounted on Thursday evening and aimed to free fighters from the group incarcerated there. Kurdish-led forces who control the Gweiran Prison said prisoners inside the facility rioted simultaneously and tried to escape while a car bomb went off outside the prison and gunmen clashed with security forces.
The fighters were led by foreign militants, not Syrians, many of whom spoke in Iraqi dialect, Shami said….

In a couple of years they’ll control a few cities again and declare a caliphate. Obama was the father of ISIS. Now that he’s in charge again, they rise. It’s deja vu all over again.

That’s all the jihadists of ISIS are really able to do , Which is to kill injure people as well as main them for life.
Those dangerous despicable malicious and murderous jihadists of the Islamic “state ” are very effective in carrying out their bloodthirsty carnage and destruction inflecting much misery of people.
So much so that they are very similar to the heinous villains described in the Bible. Which reads “Their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known.” Romans 3:15-17. [N.K.J.V.]
Therefore such evil malice-filled horrible savages of ISIS aren’t even original ,such hideous characters of that death inflecting jihad entity go back as far as to ancient times.
Walter Sieruk says
Those jihadists of ISIS , each one of them are be each going to have to give an account before God , Himself , in judgement day for the brutal,cruel murderous behavior and will be severely punished for it forever in the lake of fire, Romans 14:12. Revelations 21:8.

Resurgent Islamic State launches carefully planned jihad attacks in Syria and Iraq, dozens killed
………….
And there is no Trump to stop them.
Walter Sieruk says
Of course, that violent murderous and destructive jihad entity ISIS is having a resurgence since that weak and terrible Joe Biden is now sitting in the White House Oval Office.
Back when the United States had a real US President., who was President Trump, he had the wisdom to know how that cruel vicious jihadist of that Islamic terror organization had to be dealt with.
Which was by the use by the use of a very strong power of military might.
As Thomas Jefferson so, rightly, declared “With every barbarous people…force is law.”
Walter Sieruk says
The deadly disasters of ISIS jihad terrorism had ,for a time , appeared to have had subsided , much to the credit of the power and might the US armed forces backed by President Trump which caused the Islamic “state” to lost much of the land it had obtained by its brutal ,cruel and murderous Islamic terrorism .
Nevertheless, ISIS is having a comeback, just like resurgence of a plague of as deadly infectious disease.
Therefore there some people who might stop and think and wonder then asked the question a very good question .Which is “Since ISIS had lost so much territory ,why haven’t the jihadist who make up ISIS just given up in their mad Islamic quest against the West and for the advancement of Islam ?
The answer to that question was provided in a speech by the ISIS spokesman, Abu Muhammad al Adnani, now dead, in this speech he had declared “True defeat is a loss of willpower and desire to fight…” he further explained “We would be defeated and you victorious only if you are able to remove the Qu ‘ran from Muslim hearts.” All this leads to a very important question: “Is the Qu ‘ran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The jihadists, as those of ISIS use many verses from the Qu ‘ran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders.
As found in For example, 2:191.. 4:47 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4 The answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Qu ‘ran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Qu‘ran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Qu ‘ran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Qu ‘ran.
Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Qu ‘ran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Qu’ran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.”
In conclusion, the Qu ‘ran, which is the foundation for ISIS, is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.
It also should be added that since the Qu,ran has been proven to be a hoax ,as seen above ,this exposes the entire foundation of and for ISIS ,which is the Qu’ ran , then this means that the jihadists of ISIS have taken up a stand for a bad cause. To be more clear and specific a very bad cause.
The Bible instructs “Do not stand up for a bad cause.” Ecclesiastes 8:3. [N.I.V.]
