ISIS has called upon its followers to target Christians and Jews in the United States, Europe, and Israel during the holy month of Ramadan, as announced by the group’s spokesperson, Abu Hudhaifa al-Ansari. This call to violence comes in the wake of a devastating terror attack at a concert hall in Moscow, where over 130 individuals were killed, an incident that has been claimed by ISIS-K. Following the attack, authorities have arrested four suspects, who appeared in a Russian court bearing significant injuries.

The severity of the situation has prompted countries including France and Italy to elevate their terror alert levels, with French President Emmanuel Macron acknowledging ISIS’s role in the Moscow attack. The global community is on edge, with experts cautioning against the possibility of further extremist violence.

In the aftermath of this tragedy, US actor Steven Seagal visited the victims at the Pirogov National Medical Center in Moscow, an act of solidarity widely reported. Seagal, who holds Russian citizenship and is a known supporter of Russian President Vladimir Putin, expressed his condolences and praised the medical staff for their efforts. This incident, being the deadliest attack in Europe and Russia in the last twenty years attributed to ISIS, has cast a shadow of grief and heightened security concerns internationally.

Security forces across the affected regions are on high alert, preparing to counter any additional threats, as the world watches closely the unfolding situation.
