On March 25, 2026, Spanish and Moroccan authorities announced the arrest of a small Islamic State cell operating in both countries. Based between Tangiers in Morrocco and Mallorca in Spain, the three-person cell seems to have had a dual role, according to readouts from authorities in both countries. First, it provided logistical and financial support to two key Islamic State affiliates, the Islamic State’s Sahel Province (ISSP) and the Islamic State in Somalia (IS-S).
