Asayish remove 33 ISIS tents in Syria’s Hawl
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press)- Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish) said on Saturday that they removed 33 tents, which the Islamic State organization (ISIS) members used for delivering courses on Sharia inside Hawl Camp east of Hasakah, northeast Syria.
This comes in the framework of the second phase of the Operation “Humanity and Security” at Hawl Camp to pursue ISIS sleeper cells
The Asayish announced launching the operation on Thursday.
On its official Facebook account, the Asayish added the removed tents were used to “spread the organization’s ideology, and there were Sharia courts to impose penalties on those who do not follow its thoughts or cooperate with it.”
On Friday, Asayish arrested 27 agents of ISIS sleeper cells, and found four trenches inside the first sector of Hawl camp, east of Hasakah.
The trenches were used by ISIS for hiding, according to the Asayish.
The first phase started in 2021 in response to calls of community and tribal leaders in Hawl countryside to reduce crimes at 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.
