Trump's failure sparks another attack in Arab nation? ISIS strikes again as US presence sparks chaos

A suicide bombing targeting a police patrol in Aleppo has reignited fears of escalating instability in Syria, killing one person and injuring two security personnel on December 31. Authorities suspect the attacker had links to ISIS and say he detonated himself while being searched, prompting an investigation into his identity and network. The attack comes amid increased cooperation between Syrian authorities and U.S. forces, following recent American airstrikes on ISIS targets after U.S. casualties earlier this month. The bombing also coincides with violent protests, sectarian tensions, and deadly incidents involving the Alawite minority, underscoring Syria’s fragile security situation.
