# ISIS INCREASING INFLUENCE AND ATTACKS
ISIS activities continued growing this week, with new attacks against SDF and Security forces of the transitional goverment. Car bombs and other sofisticated attacks prove that ISIS is increasing their capacities, making use of weapons seized after the collapse of Assad regime. Their newly expanded range of attacks also proves growth of their support networks. SDF and Security services of the transitional goverment continued to launch aids to counter their influence.
# DAANES DELEGATION IN DAMASCUS
During diplomatic meeting several issues were discussed, leading to following conclusions: establishing committees to monitor implementation of March 10th aagreement, working to resolve issues surrounding exams and student rights, resolving difficulties of IDPs returning to their villages and cities, and overcoming problems around implementation of agreements on Ashrafiye and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods of Aleppo, including disrupted prisoner exchange.
# PRISONER EXCHANGE DAMASCUS-SDF
A second planned SDF-Damascus prisoner exchange in Aleppo has been postponed on May 28th. YPJ made a statement explaining that the Syrian transitional government refused to release women prisoners. DAANES officials stated their intentions to continue negotiating to make the prisoner exchange. On June 2nd a statement was released on media that the issue was resolved and the prisoner exchange will resume.
# SYRIAN IDP CAMPS AND ISIS
Following an agreement between the Syrian transitional government and DAANES to transfer internally displaced persons (IDPs) from al-Hol camp hosting ISIS families, several families were allowed to return to their homes in different parts of Syria. It is not clear how the security forces of the transitional goverment will deal with those families, and it may create an opportunity for ISIS to recruit new fighters and reengage supporters. Authorities of al-Hol camp denied any agreements to transfer the administration of the camp to the transitional government.
# LIFTING SYRIA SANCTIONS
The US Treasury lifted most sanctions on Syria, the EU separately adopted a resolution to lift economic sanctions on Syria but imposed sanctions on Turkish-backed Syrian army commanders and armed factions that committed human rights abuses. The EU Council sanctioned 62nd Division Commander Mohammad al Jassem (Abu Amsha) and 76th Division Commander Saif al Din Boulad (Sayf Abu Bakr) for commanding forces that conducted arbitrary killings, torture, and other targeted violence against civilians, particularly Alawites, in early March 2025. Al-Sharaa has allowed men, such as Abu Amsha, Sayf Abu Bakr, and others, to continue to operate with relative impunity in Syria and has even promoted several of these men to high-ranking positions within the new Syrian army.
# CONTINUOUS ARMED ATTACKES IN SUWEIDA
An ambulance of As-Suweida National Hospital was targeted on May 26th in an IED explosion that injured 6 people. This is not the first armed attack on medical personnel in the region. The same day people including healthcare workers organized a protest in front of As-Suweida National Hospital, denouncing an earlier incident where armed men entered the hospital and assaulted medical staff.
