As Syrians have repeatedly told the world, the Assad regimes and the ISIS symbiotic relationship means they dont target each other Syria, ISIS Have Been Ignoring Each Other on Battlefield, Data Suggests 11-12-2014: Syrias military and ISIS may be sworn enemies but instead of wiping each other off the battlefield they have been delicately dancing around each other, according to new data exclusively obtained by NBC News. Both sides in the bloody conflict appear to be eliminating smaller rivals ahead of a possible final showdown. Around 64 percent of verifiable ISIS attacks in Syria this year targeted other non-state groups, an analysis of the IHS Janes Terrorism and Insurgency Centers (JTIC) database showed. Just 13 percent of the militants attacks during the same period — the year through Nov. 21 — targeted Syrian security forces. Thats a stark contrast to the Sunni extremist groups operations in Iraq, where more than half of ISIS attacks (54 percent) were aimed at security forces.
