On November 23, 2024, a commander of the Women's Protection Units (YPJ) issued a warning about an impending escalation by the Islamic State (ISIS) in the region. The warning was delivered during a meeting held in Al-Hasakah, a city in northeastern Syria. The commander's statement underscored the potential for ISIS to intensify its activities, indicating a significant shift in the security dynamics of the area. The meeting involved key figures within the YPJ, highlighting the organization's ongoing efforts to monitor and respond to threats posed by ISIS. The YPJ, a component of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), has been a crucial ally in the fight against ISIS. The group's presence in the region has been instrumental in maintaining relative stability and security. The warning serves as a reminder of the persistent threat posed by ISIS, despite significant territorial losses suffered by the group in recent years. The YPJ's vigilance and preparedness are essential in mitigating potential escalations and ensuring the safety of local communities.
