WNU Editor: Even with the Islamic State collapsing throughout Syria .... they were still able to recruit a few hundred local men to join the cause in this region near Syria is an indication to me on how deeply routed the ideology of the Islamic State has become in Syria. The presence of this ISIS camp that is near the Israeli border is also an indication to me that Israel .... if given a choice .... would prefer Sunni-backed groups like ISIS over Iran/Hezbollah/Syria .... at least for now.
