DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – The U.S. military has evacuated about 300 family members of Daesh terrorists from the Al-Hawl camp in northern Syria to Iraq, Syrian state television has reported. "U.S. military occupiers have taken out 300 family members of Daesh militants of foreign origin from the Al-Hawl camp to Iraq”, the broadcaster reported. Earlier in the month, U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper did not rule out sending additional troops to Syria despite having previously said that the total number of U.S. troops on the ground would remain at around 600. According to the UN, as of late November, about 69,000 people lived in the camp, of which 15 percent were citizens of foreign countries.
