And what threat does ISIS currently pose in the region?​

It is 2 years since Islamic State lost its last territory in Syria and Iraq, yet the group remains a significant threat. Despite the end of the Islamic State caliphate, ISIS continues to carry out frequent attacks using IEDS and ambushes against both military and civilian targets, and funds part of its activities through coercive methods such as extortion of locals.

So with continued instability, insecurity and the societal factors that led to the group's formation in the first place still present - could we be seeing a resurgence for Islamic State in Iraq and Syria?

In this episode we'll take a look at Islamic State activity in the Middle East, specifically in its former strongholds of Iraq and Syria, examine the change in tactics in ISIS attacks, and how much of a threat it currently poses.
