A total of 4,236 attacks were claimed by, or attributed to, the Islamic
State in open sources in 2016, underlining the groups status as the
most prolific non-state armed group worldwide. Despite ongoing
heavy territorial pressure on the group in Iraq, Syria, and Libya, the
recorded number of attacks increased by 28% from 2015,
highlighting the extent of the groups resistance and ongoing
capabilities, as well as its transition to insurgent operations in
recaptured areas and punitive operations. While Iraq and Syria
accounted for 84% of Islamic State attacks worldwide, this was down
from 92% in 2015, underlining the expanding presence of its affiliates,
in addition to proliferating lone actors operating in the West.
In Yemen, a total of 558 attacks were claimed by, or attributed to, Ansar
Allah in open sources in 2016. This made Ansar Allah more commonly
known as the Houthis and previously named Al-Shabab al-Muminin the
sixth most active group recorded worldwide, with the recorded number of
attacks almost doubling from 2015. The rise in attacks underlined the
escalating nature of the conflict between the group and its allies and the
Saudi-backed government-in-exile, with heavy fighting in Taiz governorate
accounting for more than one-quarter of Ansar Allah attacks. The groups
threat also expanded further from Yemen, with almost one-fifth of
operations being cross-border attacks into Saudi Arabia, as we as two
anti-ship missile attacks in the Bab al-Mandab strait in October.
