Dozens of Syrian families prepare to leave al-Hole camp
2022-08-15
[Rudaw] Over 70 families affiliated with the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) were readying to leave the notorious al-Hol camp in northeast Syria (Rojava) to return to their homes in Deir ez-Zor on Sunday, a conflict monitor reported marking the first batch to leave the camp since ISIS’ prison break attempt earlier in the year.

About 400 people from 77 Syrian families were preparing to leave the camp later in the day, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), with a ground network in Syria reported.

Attempts to take back Syrian families from al-Hol camp stopped in January after ISIS attempted to break thousands of its affiliates and members out of al-Sina'a prison in Hasaka province. The facility, also known to locals as the Ghweran prison, houses thousands of ISIS-linked prisoners.

A batch of 53 families had left al-Hol before the prison break attempt in January.

The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the internal security forces (Asayish) regained control of the prison following days of festivities.

This is the 23rd batch of Syrian families set to be removed from the camp since evacuation efforts began in October 2020.
