Iraqi refugees, Syrian IDP killed, wounded in Syria’s Hawl Camp
HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) – On Saturday, an Iraqi refugee was killed and two other Iraqi refugees and a Syrian IDP were wounded after being shot by unknown individuals in the first sector of Hawl Camp, east of Hasakah city, northeast Syria.
On Saturday at dawn, the Internal Security Forces (Asayish) found the body of an Iraqi refugee, who was killed by unknown persons.
Iraqi refugee Abu Saif was shot multiple times in the head, abdomen and leg in the first sector of the camp, a security source from the camp told North Press.
“Two female Iraqi refugees were wounded with gunshots; one of them was wounded in the leg and the other in the back,” the source added.
Meanwhile, a female Syrian IDP was shot in the leg, according to the source.
This is the first murder in the camp following the security campaign by Asayish supported by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in March.
Since the beginning of 2021, Islamic State (ISIS) sleeper cells have killed 47 persons inside the camp, according to a statement recently released by Asayish.
