Analysis No. 500 of the Islamic State’s al-Naba weekly.

Propaganda and operations of IS provinces

The Islamic State publishes its al-Naba magazine on a weekly basis, providing 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 500 last Thursday.
