"The spokesperson for the Interior Ministry of Syria's transitional government, Nour al-Din al-Baba, detailed what he described as 'a mass escape' of ISIS family members from Al-Hol camp in the northeastern province of Hasakah.   Speaking at a press conference in Damascus on Wednesday, al-Baba said government forces were 'surprised' by what he referred to as a 'sudden and uncoordinated withdrawal' of Democratic Forces (SDF), approximately six hours before government units arrived at the camp.   "By the time our specialised teams reached the site, a mass escape had already taken place after parts of the camp were opened in a chaotic manner. Some guards had abandoned their posts and left their weapons behind, while internal barriers had been removed," he said.   Al-Baba added that authorities discovered 138 breaches in the roughly 17-kilometre perimeter fence surrounding the camp, which he said facilitated the disorganised escape. The spokesperson did not provide an exact number of those who fled.   On Sunday, the transitional government announced the closure of Al-Hol camp, once one of the largest facilities housing families of suspected ISIS members under SDF administration.   In late January, government forces began deploying to the camp as the SDF withdrew from the site.   The SDF said it had repositioned from Al-Hol and redeployed around cities in northeastern Syria, citing what it described as a lack of sufficient international support in addressing the ISIS detainee issue.   On January 30, the Syrian Interim Government and the SDF reached a comprehensive agreement to integrate the civilian and military institutions of the Kurdish self-administration in northeastern Syria, as well as in Ayn al-Arab, into the Syrian Interim Government.   The agreement includes the integration of self-administration institutions, the regularisation of civilian employees, the settlement of civil and educational rights of the Kurdish community, and measures to facilitate the safe return of refugees to their homes.   These developments follow a military campaign launched by transitional government forces last month, during which they took control of several areas in northeastern Syria after fierce battles with the SDF.   Commenting on the tensions, US President Donald Trump expressed support for the head of the transitional government, Ahmed al-Sharaa, while noting that he 'loves the Kurds' but claimed they had been 'paid a lot of money for oil and other things', adding that they were acting 'more for their own benefit than for ours'."
