In the past few days, there have been some quite notable developments in the online Islamic State (IS) media and communications sphere. Amongst these are the Islamic State Khurasan Province’s (ISKP) increased public collaboration with pro-IS propaganda/translation group Halummu and the re-emergence of Al-Saqri Foundation for Military Sciences — a network that specializes in the instruction of Do-It-Yourself (DIY) terrorism content.

The Islamic State Khurasan Province’s Al-Azaim Foundation — the branch’s propaganda outlet — has emerged as one of the most dynamic media networks within the global online IS ecosystem. Over the past year and a half, Al-Azaim has drastically increased its output, expanded the range of topics it covers, and has markedly increased the number of languages it produces and translates its content into.
