The Islamic State (IS) group has claimed responsibility for two recent bomb attacks in southern Syria, targeting government forces and US-backed factions. These incidents mark a pivotal moment as they represent the first attacks on the Syrian army since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad's long-standing regime. One attack reportedly resulted in seven soldiers dead or wounded. As IS continues to execute attacks primarily through sleeper cells, this resurgence raises concerns about stability in the region and the implications for the new Syrian authority led by Ahmad al-Sharaa, an ex-al-Qaeda head.
