The official twitter account of Special Operations Joint Task Force-Levant (SOJTF) in a tweet said that the tents were used by ISIS as “indoctrination centers and extrajudicial courts that target inhabitants for failure to adhere to their hateful ideology.”

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in a press release also confirmed the 33 tents were used as “courts for imposing punishments on people who do not abide by ISIS extremist ideology.”

On August 25, the Asayish launched an anti-ISIS operation with support of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the US-led coalition in al-Hol camp. So far, 27 ISIS suspects were arrested.

The SOJTF said the operation “aims to disrupt, degrade and dissolve ISIS support networks and ensure the security of Syria.”

The al-Hol camp hosts at least 56,000 people (mostly ISIS families), the majority of whom are Syrians and Iraqis. But it also hosts foreign third country nationals.
