Asayish find torturing devices, ammunition in Syria’s Hawl

HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) – Internal Security Forces  of North and East Syria (Asayish) said, on Tuesday, they found a cell phone, and M16 magazine ammunition in Hawl camp east of Hasakah, in the sixth day of a security campaign.

Operation “Humanity and Security” second phase comes against the backdrop of growing violence in the camp.

On August 25, the Asayish announced launching the second phase of Operation “Humanity and Security” in Hawl Camp to pursue ISIS sleeper cells.

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.

On its official Facebook account, Asayish mentioned they found “murder and torture” devices that the Islamic State Organization (ISIS) sleeper cells used.

Owner of a tent, where these devices were found buried under the ground, was arrested.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Asayish Media Center announced the toll of the campaign’s fifth day.

In five days, the Asayish arrested 83 individuals and removed 93 tents, in which sharia law courses were given, children trained and laws passed.

The campaign continues, waiting for the outcomes of the sixth day to be announced in the coming hours or tomorrow morning, as usual.

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.
