A decade after the Islamic State group declared a caliphate, it's defeated but remains lethal.
The extremists no longer control any land, have lost many prominent leaders and are mostly out of the world news headlines.
Still, the group continues to recruit members and claim responsibility for deadly attacks around the world.
Its sleeper cells in Syria and Iraq carry out attacks against government forces in both countries.
IS is now made up of sleeper cells in caves and desert in remote areas, Iraqi army Maj. Gen. Tahseen al-Khafaji says.
During the first five months of the year , he said, Iraqi forces conducted 35 airstrikes against IS and killed 51 of its members.
IS has killed dozens of government forces and SDF fighters over the past several months in Syria .
