News Center - The operation comes amid ongoing risks faced by residents, alongside heightened security measures designed to stabilize the camp environment. On September 5, the Internal Security Forces and the Women’s Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria, supported by the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and the International Coalition, launched the fourth phase of the “Humanity and Security” operation in al-Hol and surrounding areas. This phase aims to enhance protection for camp residents and ensure a safe environment that allows humanitarian organizations to operate without obstacles.

 

On its second day, the operation continues at a rapid pace, with security forces sweeping various sectors of the camp, focusing on the Migrant Women sector, which houses women and children of foreign ISIS families. Measures include detailed personal data verification, comprehensive tent inspections, and the use of advanced devices to detect weapons, ammunition, and explosives, all aimed at strengthening security and minimizing potential risks.

 

During the first day of the operation, internal security forces discovered a landmine in Sector 5, known as the “Migrant Women” sector, highlighting the persistent security threats within the camp.

 

According to the latest statistics from al-Hol Camp Administration obtained by Hawar Agency, the camp currently hosts approximately 26,539 residents, including 6,352 foreigners, 4,933 Iraqis, 15,245 Syrians, and nine individuals of unknown identity or nationality.
