Despite territorial losses, ISIS has conducted which type of operations?

• A. Routine, low-profile local operations only.
• B. High-profile operations in various countries.
• C. Solely cyber operations.
• D. No longer conducts operations.

Answer: (B)

Even after losing territorial control, ISIS can still project power by mounting high-profile operations beyond its former borders. The group sustains its reach through a network of affiliates and inspired individuals around the world, capable of planning and executing dramatic attacks in multiple countries. This international pattern shows ongoing capability and intent to influence globally, not just local, routine activity. In contrast, suggesting operations are limited to local or purely cyber actions, or that the group no longer conducts operations, doesn’t fit the observed behavior.
