In a written statement on Wednesday, the Justice Bureau of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) highlighted the fact that the recent invasion attacks of the Turkish state are paving the way for an ISIS resurgence.

The statement emphasized that one of the aims of the Turkish assault on the region is to provide a suitable environment for ISIS to carry out further attacks.

Citing information in their possession, the Justice Bureau stated that ISIS cells were preparing to attack the Elaya Justice Centre in Qamishlo. The Justice Bureau announced that measures were already taken against a possible attack and that it was working together with the Internal Security forces.

The Elaya Centre is a prison where many ISIS members are held.

The Justice Bureau noted that the threats against the prisons where ISIS members are held demonstrate that all countries involved in the Syrian civil war should take a serious stance against a resurgence of ISIS.
