Syria’s autonomous Kurdish region transferred to the Iraqi government more than 600 relatives of ISIS group members who were detained at the notorious Al-Hol camp, media outlets said Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the fourth operation of its kind this year from the camp, which lies less than 10 kilometers (six miles) from the Iraqi border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the latest transfer, around “620 people, relatives of ISIS members, left Al-Hol”, coordinated between the camp administration and the Iraqi government, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The men, women and children belonged to 150 families and left the camp on Thursday, an official in the Kurdish administration told AFP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In April, a senior Iraqi security official said the Al-Hol camp is a security threat and should be dismantled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It houses around 55,000 people, the United Nations reported in June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
