On January 28, two Islamic State (IS) gunmen attacked the Roman Catholic Church of Santa Maria in Istanbul, killing one person and injuring another. It was the group’s first successful attack in Turkey since January 1, 2017, when thirty-nine people were killed and seventy-nine injured in a shooting at the Reina nightclub. The toll of the church incident would likely have been much higher if the perpetrators’ guns had not jammed, averting an even worse tragedy.
The long gap between these IS attacks was not for lack of trying, however. IS external operations networks from Syria and Afghanistan had tried and failed to strike Turkey for the previous seven years, and many homegrown plots had been disrupted as well. Indeed, the scale of this plotting has been voluminous, illustrating Ankara’s ability to thwart the group’s goal of undermining security in Turkey.

On May 2, the U.S. and Turkish governments jointly designated Abu Ahmed Zakour (aka Omar Alsheak or Jihad Isa al-Sheikh), a senior leader with the Syrian jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). The bilateral action with Ankara suggests that both countries are signaling their unhappiness with the group’s push into areas controlled by the Syrian National Army (SNA), a Turkish proxy militia. Zakour has been a key HTS liaison to those areas.
The designation also represented both good news and bad news for HTS on the sanctions front. On one hand, the announcement is the first U.S. government document to acknowledge that HTS broke with al-Qaeda years ago; all prior designations and reports claimed they were still together. On the other hand, this is the first U.S. designation of an HTS official since July 2021, indicating that group leader Abu Muhammad al-Jawlani’s various pleas for delisting have not gained traction in Washington.
