Syria closes ISIS-linked al-Hol camp after emptying it

(Al Arabiya) Syrian authorities have closed al-Hol camp, which long housed relatives of suspected ISIS fighters, after emptying the formerly Kurdish-controlled facility, a camp official told AFP on Sunday. “All Syrian and non-Syrian families were relocated,” Fadi al-Qassem, the official appointed by the government to manage al-Hol’s affairs, told AFP. Al-Hol, located in a desert region of Hasakah province, had been Syria’s largest camp housing relatives of suspected ISIS fighters. – Syria closes ISIS-linked al-Hol camp after emptying it
