Exclusive: More than 20 Australian women and more than 40 children related to Islamic State combatants held in al-Hawl And Roj camps

last month arrested more than 300 IS operatives inside al-Hawl, seized weapons and liberated at least six women found hidden and chained inside the camp, who had been tortured by IS over years. One of the women had been captured in 2014, aged nine.

“IS has depended mainly on women and children … to maintain the Isis extremist ideology and spread it in the camp,” troops who led the raid on al-Hawl said.Germany has repatriated 91 of its citizens, France 86 and the US 26. Kazakhstan has returned more than 700 of its nationals, Russia and Kosovo more than 200 each. France is running an operation repatriating its citizens, including orphans.

The removal of foreign nationals has the support of the Kurdish-led forces which, for now, have control of the camps. The US, which has a significant military presence in north-east Syria, has repeatedly pushed Australia to repatriate its citizens.Sydney-born teenager Yusuf Zahab was told in July that he had died of uncertain causes. He had previously contracted tuberculosis and had sent desperate pleas for help during an IS siege of al-Sina’a prison, in al-Hasakah, in January 2022. He was 11 when he was taken to Syria.Our Australian morning briefing email breaks down the key national and international stories of the day and why they matterNewsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.

Ok what about Julian Assange?

they went to Syria willingly They knew they went to a war The kids are theirs with terrorist husbands

About time, been a disgraceful delayy

lenoretaylor Australia is making a mistake by bringing back those that have been radicalised/went there by choice.

What about Assange?

Thank goodness we now have a government that cares for Aussies in distress. How the other mob can go home to their families with a clear conscience, and some even claiming to be Christians, is beyond me! They assume guilt when they should presume innocence.

Labor will risk Australian's to rescue fundamentalist blow ins & expose other Australians to harm when they get here. Labor hates Australians/Australia.

Yay more terrorists, just what we need

lenoretaylor Thank you. About bloody time.

About damn time!

Australian labor government

Great…. More indoctrinated little Jihadis that want to avenge their fathers untimely demise on Western Society..
