Murders in Al-Hawl camp | ISIS execute displaced Syrian woman after slaughtering her husband days ago

SOHR sources have reported that on Wednesday, ISIS armed men executed a displaced Syrian woman in broad daylight by shooting her in the head in one of the fourth section squares in Al-Hawl camp in the far south-eastern countryside of Al-Hasakah.

ISIS members shot dead the woman for “dealing with the camp administration and the internal security forces,” and for “being against its ISIS ideologies.”

ISIS members have previously threatened to kill anyone who cooperated with SDF or international organisations operating in the camp.

According to Syrian Observatory sources, the woman is from the southern countryside of Aleppo and is the wife of a man from Deir Ezzor, who was killed after his head was separated from his body by ISIS fighters on the first day of Eid Al-Adha.

This murder comes in light of ongoing escalating ISIS attacks and murders in Al-Hawl camp, which houses ISIS families and members.

On July 10, SOHR activists documented the first crime that occurred in Al-Hawl camp in the far south-east countryside of Al-Hasakah in July 2022, when Kurdish Red Crescent found a displaced Syrian man from Deir Ezzor province slaughtered with a sharp tool in the third section of Al-Hawl camp.

The dead man was transferred to Al-Shaa’b hospital in Al-Hasakah.

Accordingly, the number of murders documented in the camp since early 2022 has risen to 25, which left 26 people dead; and they are as follows:

• Six Iraqi refugees, including two women.

• 11 Syrian people, including seven women.

• Seven unidentified women.

• A medic was killed in the post where he worked in the camp.

• An unidentified man
