The FBI confirmed that Jabbar was "100% inspired by Isis," showcasing an Isis flag and expressing violent intentions in videos shared prior to the attack.
Experts highlight that despite Isis's territorial losses, its propaganda methods remain effective, attracting individuals facing personal challenges.
Jabbar’s actions were described by his brother as stemming from radicalization rather than religious conviction, emphasizing the psychological impact of Isis's recruitment strategies.
The group has adapted to a focus on online influence, utilizing platforms like Telegram to disseminate its messages effectively.
