Iraq repatriated 569 individuals from 155 families on Sunday as part of a continued effort to relocate nationals from the al-Hol camp in northeastern Syria. The operation, a collaboration between the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Iraqi government, is the 21st repatriation since the initiative began.
The returnees are being transferred to Jadaa Camp, near Mosul, where they will undergo security screenings and reintegration programs. This marks the fourth repatriation of 2025, with Iraqi officials planning to speed up the process by conducting at least two convoys per month.
Al-Hol camp, which houses approximately 15,000 Iraqis, along with displaced Syrians and families of former IS fighters, has been a focal point for concerns over extremism and security.Many foreign governments, citing security fears, have been hesitant to repatriate their citizens.
