Just days before the deadly attack in Kabul, senior Israeli defense officials warned that the release of thousands of Islamic State fighters from prisons in Afghanistan by the Taliban is a concern for Israel and the region.

On Thursday some 90 people, including over a dozen American Marines, were killed in a complex attack on Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport claimed by IS Khorasan Province (ISKP).

Videos shared on social media from the scene showed dozens of bodies in the sewage canal outside the airport.

It was the deadliest US casualty event in the country since 2011 when a Chinook helicopter carrying NATO and Afghan security forces was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade fired by a Taliban fighter. Thirty-eight people were killed in the attack, including 22 US Special Forces.

The attack on Thursday came following warnings by defense officials about an increased terror threat from the group, especially near the airport.

A senior Israeli defense official told The Jerusalem Post that the fighters who had been released could make their way to the Middle East, including Egypt’s restive Sinai Peninsula and carry out attacks.

ISKP has been active in Afghanistan since it was founded by Pakistani national Hafiz Saeed Khan, a veteran Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commander in 2014 and was officially accepted by the terror group’s core in 2015.

At ISIS’s height of power, it expanded all over the world including in Libya and Egypt, but ISKP was one of the more successful franchises with at least 2,000 fighters who have carried out numerous attacks over the years including a May 2020 attack targeting a maternity hospital in Kabul that killed 24 people including newborns.

ISKP and the Taliban are sworn enemies and have been fighting each other for years and it could be that ISKP carried out the attack on Kabul airport in an attempt to humiliate the Taliban following their reconquest of the country. READ MORE
