As ISIS is increasingly defeated, tens of thousands of its members crossed into Turkey and Northern Syrian regions under Turkish invasion. Some had already changed their uniforms and joined the Euphrates Shield gangs on August 24, 2016 when they entered Jarablus without firing a single bullet. The ISIS members who crossed into Turkey and areas under Turkish state invasion are serving the Turkish state today in both Turkey and Northern Syria. Some of the ISIS members in Northern Syria attempt assassinations under the Kiyam Movement controlled by the MİT in areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), while most of them have been stationed in the invasion of Afrin and they remain there still.

Among ISIS members in ISIS there are both gang leaders, perpetrators of massacres and those active in the intelligence field. The ISIS members in Afrin serving the AKP have also carried out invasion attacks in Kurdish areas.

The Turkish state cited ISIS along with the YPG as they implemented the invasion of Afrin, but under their control Afrin was turned into a new front for ISIS, whereas the gangs had never been able to enter the province before.
