Al-Hawl mini-state | Internal Security Forces find trench sheltering ISIS cells in Al-Hasakah

Al-Hasakah province: SOHR activists have reported that the Internal Security Forces have found a trench inside Al-Hawl mini-state in the far south eastern of Al-Hasakah in northern and eastern of Syria, where ISIS members hide after committing crimes inside the camp.

It is worth noting that Al-Hawl camp is considered one of the most dangerous camps in the world as it holds families of ISIS cells, displaced people and refugees, and is considered a timed bomb that threatens to explode at any moment.

Since early 2022, the number of murders documented in the camp is 23, which left 24 people dead; and they are as follows:
• Six Iraqi refugees, including two women.
• Nine Syrian people, including seven women.
• Seven unidentified women.
• A medic was killed in the post where he worked in the camp.
• An unidentified man.
We, at the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), renew our appeal to the international community to find a lasting solution to “Al-Hawl mini-state” crisis, which is considered a clear and present danger to everyone. We also urge international human rights organisations to put an immediate and serious plan for rehabilitating women and children in the camp, who were saturated with ISIS ideology, especially with the large number of children and the widespread presence of the group cells in the camp that continue to impart their poisonous ideas to the residents of the camp, particularly women and children.
