Analysis No. 486 of the Islamic State’s al-Naba weekly.

Propaganda and operations of IS provinces

The Islamic State publishes its al-Naba magazine every week, which provides significant information on the group’s military, ideological, and propaganda activities in its provinces.

Analysing the weekly issue of the al-Naba newsletter, the Islamic State's official media product, allows one to assess the jihadist organisation's threat in operational terms.

The weekly newsletter reached number 486 last Thursday.

Operations and propaganda details

Issue 486, eight pages long, covers the week of 6 to 12 Ramadan 1446, from 6 to 12 March 2025.

Al-Naba generally includes most of the statements and photos published daily during the past week on its official channels, though often with new elements or more details, both written and photographic. However, al-Naba won’t include unpublished statements or messages.

Following the usual editorial line, after the introductory page of the issue, we focus on the topics covered within the weekly.
