7 people killed in Syria's al-Hol camp in 3 days: RIC

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – At least seven people were killed in three days in northeast Syria's al-Hol camp, the Syria-based Rojava Information Centre (RIC) reported on Friday. 

"This marks the 7th killing in just 3 days," RIC tweeted. "On the 19th, 3 women were found dead. A Syrian woman was shot in the head yesterday. In addition, an Iraqi man was killed by several bullets last night."

This represents a considerable uptick in violence month-on-month. Only 7 assassinations were recorded in al-Hol camp from January to March 2022. Nonetheless, these figures still compare favourably to last year's. pic.twitter.com/Dx59dt8954
