Original Note:
Misleading. IS-K is the ISIS branch operating out of the Khorasan Province, they are not “new”, having been around since at least 2015. One stated goal of ISIS is to target “apostate” regimes in the Arab world. Their enemies include Lebanese Hizballah, Al Qaeda and Assad. https://www.csis.org/programs/former-programs/transnational-threats-project-archive/terrorism-backgrounders/islamic https://www.brookings.edu/articles/comparing-al-qaeda-and-isis-different-goals-different-targets/ https://www.brookings.edu/articles/isis-vs-al-qaeda-jihadisms-global-civil-war/
