Despite their defeat in Syria in 2019, when IS lost the last sliver of land its fighters once controlled, the extremists' sleepers cells have continued to carry out deadly attacks in Syria and Iraq where they once held large parts of the two countries.
The latest attack occurred in Syria's eastern province of Deir el-Zour bordering Iraq, and where U.S. troops are based at an oil facility known as the Omar Field.
Last week, the U.S. military said SDF fighters arrested dozens of IS militants and rescued four women who were being held chained inside tents at the massive al-Hol camp that houses IS families.
The operation that has been ongoing for three weeks is part of an effort to dissolve a major IS network at the camp, which is widely seen as a breeding ground for the next generation of IS extremists.
The al-Hol camp in Syria's northeastern Hassakeh Province, has long been viewed as a growing problem and there have been a number of military operations and raids there to root out IS threats.
Some 50,000 Syrians and Iraqis are crowded into tents in the fenced-in camp. Nearly 20,000 of them are children; most of the rest are women, the wives and widows of IS fighters. In a separate, heavily guarded section of the camp known as the annex are an additional 2,000 women from 57 other countries – they are considered the most diehard IS supporters – along with their children, numbering about 8,000.
