Counter-ISIS operations and residual terrorism
The coalition counter-ISIS mission is a low-intensity but persistent surface. The transition raises the operational question of whether the new Syrian government should inherit custody of ISIS detainees and the territorial responsibility, or whether the coalition continues its parallel mission. Western framing emphasises prison-break risk; pro-sovereignty framing argues for foreign-military withdrawal and transfer to national jurisdictions.
