YPJ finds Yezidi woman in Hawl Camp
HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) – Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), affiliated with Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), found on Monday a Yezidi woman in Hawl Camp, east of Hasakah, a governorate in northeastern Syria.
This came within the operations of Humanity and Security Campaign.
On August 25, Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish) announced launching the second phase of Operation “Humanity and Security” in Hawl Camp to pursue the sleeper cells of Islamic State Organization (ISIS).
The first phase was launched in 2021 in response to calls of community and tribal leaders in Hawl countryside to reduce crimes at the camp.
No information was reported about the situation of the woman and how was she found, waiting the concerned authorities to release a statement during the coming hours.
On September 3, the Asayish found a Yezidi woman who was threatened by ISIS members to hide her identity.
On September 6, the YPJ published a video clip showing four women existed in chain and tortured by the ISIS in the Camp.
Hawl Camp, 45 km east of the city of Hasakah, is a house for 55.829 individuals, including 28.725 Iraqis, 18.850 Syrians and 8.254 of foreign nationalities, according to the latest statistics obtained by North Press.
The camp witnesses murders with different methods, most notably firearms. The management of the camp fears that the latest Turkish threats of invading areas in northern Syria would pave the way for ISIS to reorganize its ranks; North Press cited a statement by the management as saying.
