Abstract

The article reports on the attack of American-backed coalition to oust militants and reclaim the Syrian city of Hajin, the last vestige of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria's (ISIS) caliphate that straddled Syria and Iraq. It reveals the Islamic State's lost of the territories it seized in Syria and considers its defeat after a counter-insurgency operation. Observation and analysis of the shifting attack strategy of the ISIS, with lesser suicide attacks, ambushes and executions, is presented.
