Defeat IS Coalition Worries About Resurgence 

The United States and other key members of the global coalition to defeat Islamic State are voicing renewed concerns about the terror group against the backdrop of a massive campaign to root out operatives trying to turn a once-liberated area into a new stronghold.  #SDF report another #ISIS related execution at #alHol camp - this time the victim is described as an #Iraq|i teenhttps://t.co/J6zzdUBos9 #SDF announces on social media it has captured 53 suspected #ISIS operatives, including 5 cell leaders just 3 days into its crackdown on ISIS activity at #alHol camp in NE #Syria https://t.co/Pzp09lu8Dx "West of the #Euphrates River, areas where we do not control, where the [#Syria] regime controls ground w/their #Russia patrons, the conditions are as bad or worse than those that spawned the original rise of #ISIS" warns @CENTCOM's McKenzie

Foreign ministers with the so-called Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS Small Group met virtually Tuesday, more than two years after the collapse of the terror group's self-declared caliphate in Iraq and Syria, to focus on what they describe as increased activity in areas once controlled by the group's fighters.   "The threat remains," the ministers said in a joint communique following the meeting about the group, also known as ISIS or by the Arabic acronym Daesh. The ministers added that they "took note of the resumption in Daesh/ISIS activities in areas where the Coalition is not active."  But while the communique called on coalition members to provide "adequate military and civilian resources" to partner forces in both Iraq and Syria and welcomed NATO's pledge to expand its training mission in Iraq, it offered little in the way of specifics.
