On March 12, Reliable sources informed SOHR that Al-Hawl camp in Al-Hasakah countryside, which hosts families of ISIS members and leaders, was witnessing an alert of SDF security forces. SDF security forces carried out raids on some tents in search of ISIS cells and weapons. This security campaign coincided with the flight by international coalition helicopters over the camp.

On March 7, SOHR Reliable sources reported that Internal Security Forces “Asayish” foiled an attempt to help women of ISIS families from Al-Hawl camp in Al-Hasakah countryside on Sunday evening. Internal security forces managed to arrest the smugglers in the vicinity of the camp.
