ARK News.. A Syrian human rights source has revealed that more than 300 Iraqi families left the Al-Hol camp in Hasaka’s countryside during February.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a total of 322 families, comprising 1,212 individuals, departed from the camp, which is under the control of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

On February 9, 155 families associated with ISIS left Al-Hol camp, heading toward Iraq, with an estimated 594 individuals among them.

Additionally, on February 23, 167 more families with ISIS ties also exited the camp for Iraq, bringing the total to around 618 people.

The departures are part of ongoing efforts to repatriate foreign nationals and reduce the population of the camp, which has long been a source of concern for both local and international authorities due to security and humanitarian challenges.
