U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish security forces have begun a fresh operation to target Islamic State sleeper cells in a sizable detention facility in the northeast where the level of bloodshed has risen to all-time highs.
This year, there have been at least 44 fatalities, including 14 women, in the al-Hol camp, which houses internal refugees and the families of alleged IS fighters.
According to Ali Hassan, a spokesman for the internal security forces working in Syria’s semi-autonomous northeast, ‘We initiated the campaign at this time because of the urgent need brought on by the escalation and growth in violent crimes by IS cells in al-Hol camp.’
