ARK News: US forces have transferred 300 members of the families of the ISIS terrorist group from Syria to Iraq.

Syrian state television said US forces had transferred these ISIS-affiliated men from Iraq to a camp in the southeastern outskirts of Hasakah in northern Syria, state-run television reported.

US Secretary of Defense Mark Spear said in early December that Washington might send more troops to Syria. He had previously announced that the number of US troops in Syria would remain at around 600.

According to UN statistics at the end of November, 69,000 people reside in the Al-Hol camp, 40 percent Syrian, 45 percent Iraqi, and 15 percent other nationalities.

The Al-Hol camp is controlled by militants, generally known as the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Forces the PYD. These militias are US-backed.
