According to a US intelligence report revealed by the White House on Thursday, the ISIS which had previously 31000 fighters has now only 25000 fighters, which means there is roughly 20 percent decrease in fighters. Factors attributed as the reasons for decrease are battlefield casualties, desertions, internal disciplinary actions, recruiting shortfalls, and difficulties that foreign fighters face traveling to Syria. But there is no scope of self-contention and the drive against the dreaded terrorist group must go on as before.
