Approximately 70 families of ISIS members have arrived at Akhtarin Camp in northern Aleppo, having been transferred from the Al-Hol camp in Hasakah province, which has been housing thousands of ISIS-linked families for years. The movement took place under the supervision of Syrian internal security forces, indicating a shift in how ISIS families are being managed within the region. Previously, these families were under the oversight of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which withdrew from Al-Hol, resulting in the recent relocation.

The families had spent several years in Al-Hol camp, which has been a point of contention due to its overcrowding and the presence of former ISIS members and their relatives. The management and security of such camps have been complex, with various factions involved in governance and security. With the withdrawal of the SDF from Al-Hol, the choice to move families to Akhtarin reflects the changing security landscape in northern Syria and the challenges of handling those connected to ISIS.

This relocation could have significant implications for the region's stability, as it raises questions about the integration of these families back into society and how local governments will address the potential risks posed by ISIS affiliates. As security dynamics evolve, the handling of ISIS families remains a critical issue for both local and international stakeholders concerned about terrorism and regional security.
