Syrian citizens were seen marching in the streets of Damascus yesterday while carrying ISIS flags — a disturbing sign of how quickly extremist symbols are returning to public view in post-war Syria.
The footage comes as Syria remains deeply unstable, with rival forces, Islamist factions, tribal groups and remnants of jihadist networks all competing for influence. For Israel and the region, the appearance of ISIS flags in the Syrian capital is not just a local Syrian issue — it is a warning sign that radical Islamist forces may be trying to reassert themselves in the heart of the country.
NEWSRAEL: WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
The world is watching Syria’s political transition, but scenes like this show the danger behind the headlines. If extremist groups feel free to march openly in Damascus, it raises serious questions about who is really in control — and whether Syria is drifting once again toward becoming a base for terror movements that threaten Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and the wider Middle East.
