Will ISIS attacks like this be a permanent fixture in our world, despite their wide scale defeat in the middle east?

Not 'despite', more like 'because of'.   ISIS' battlefield setbacks are more likely to foster an increase in small, deadly attacks like the one mention, primarily because they no longer have the resources to do much else.

Could you expand on this idea maybe? You could be right. I would think that the battlefield defeats would demoralized though, since obviously the caliphate isn't happening.
