According to the war monitor, the Islamic State (IS) group on Thursday claimed responsibility for its first attack to target the new government forces of Syrian after excluding former President Bashar al-Assad.In a statement raised by the Site Intelligence Group, it is said that it put a “explosive equipment” on a Syrian military vehicle in Swarra province south of the country.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (Sohr) confirmed the incident, saying it has first claimed an attack on the new Syrian government. It said that the attack took place on Wednesday and included a remote-controlled landmine, which patrolled the 70th division of the Syrian Army. A person, who was with government soldiers, died. AFP said three soldiers were injured in the blast.Although the extremist groups were regularly defeated after losing the huge segments of land in Syria and Iraq in 2019, it continues to work in the central desert regions of the country. Its recent attacks have mainly targeted the Kurdish-led forces in the Northeast rather than the new Islamist-backed government, which replaced Assad in December.However, stress is increasing. Earlier this week, Syrian officials said they abolished an IS cell near Damascus, alleging that its members were preparing to start the attack. Earlier this month, in a separate operation in Aleppo, three IS fighters and a government security officers were killed.The revival in activity has attracted international attention. During a recent meeting at Riyadh with Syrian President Ahmed Al-Shra, US President Donald Trump urged him to help the United States to stop the revival of IS “.
