Overturn: for the first time the power of ISIS is decreasing and foreign fighters deserted its army.
Brett Mc Gork, US special envoy to the coalition against ISIS, said that the number of foreign fighters in the ranks of the "Islamic State" (ISIS) fell from approximately 35 thousand to about 25 thousand.
He said fighters from 120 countries have already joined the ranks of the organization, but now the terrorist organization is under pressure and recently cut wages by half for fighters.
According to American sources, until recently the average monthly salary of an ISIS warrior was about $ 400. Foreigners received between 600 and 800 dollars a month.
According to other reports, forced recruitment has increased, recruiting children and transferring special fighters to standard units. These effects are also proof that there was a decrease in the flow of foreign fighters into the ranks of ISIS.
"We believe that ISIS is beginning to lose now. We see them on the defensive," a US official told reporters in London. According to the data provided, ISIS lost about 40 percent of the territory it controlled in Iraq and ten percent of the territory it dominated in Syria.
However - Intelligence officials note, the defeat of the organization is still far.
