Analysis No. 507 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 507 last Thursday.

I would like to remind all readers to access the app or the site, since the email does not allow you to view the entire analysis, and not all photos are displayed. 

Operations and propaganda details

Issue 507, eight pages long, covers the week of 6 to 12 Safar 1447, from 31 July to 6 August 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 However, al-Naba won’t include unpublished statements or messages.

The main infographic summarises the areas affected by military operations during the week mentioned above: Nigeria, Syria, Mozambique, Burkina Faso, Niger and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

IS claims to have conducted 16 operations in all the mentioned areas and to have caused 90 deaths and injuries.

Inside this issue of al-Naba, there are two infographics.
