Syria's army has reportedly entered the country's vast al-Hawl detention camp that houses relatives of suspected Islamic State jihadists, after Kurdish forces withdrew. A large group of soldiers opened the camp's metal gate and entered while others guarded the entrance, according to an Agence France-Presse journalist at the scene. Al-Hawl, located in a desert region of al-Hasakah province, holds about 24,000 people, including 15,000 Syrians and about 6,300 foreign women and children of 42 nationalities.
