Analysis No. 501 of the Islamic State’s al-Naba weekly.

Propaganda and operations of IS provinces

The Islamic State publishes its al-Naba magazine every week, 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 501 last Thursday.

Operations and propaganda details

Issue 501, eight pages long, covers the week of 23 to 29 Dhul Hijjah, from 19 to 25 June 2025.

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 However, al-Naba won’t include unpublished statements or messages.
