Cell phone video published to Twitter today from Herat, Afghanistan shows members of an unknown resistance faction ambushing Taliban forces inside of the city.

While it's unclear exactly which resistance group is responsible for this attack, we do know that it was conducted inside of the city of Herat which is currently under Taliban control. It is possible that this footage is of IS-K members, but more likely it is footage of the Afghan Freedom Front. We can, for the most part, rule out the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan as a culprit in this attack due to the organization primarily operating in the Panjshir Valley which is quite a distance from Herat.

If more information about this specific incident in Afghanistan becomes available, we'll update this post. There is a chance that this is a new resistance faction or a new splinter faction of the Taliban as well. We simply do not have enough information at this time. The footage was recorded this morning on July 4, 2022.
