Members of a Palestinian faction linked to the terror group Hamas, backed by Syrian rebels, were able to retake large parts of a refugee camp in Syria that had been seized by Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) jihadists, according to a monitoring group.
Palestinian fighters and Syrian rebels in the Yarmouk camp in the Syrian capital Damascus “were able to regain control over all of the areas that ISIS had taken over,” reports the U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
ISIS militants stormed the Palestinian refugee camp, bringing them closer to Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s presidential palace.
On Wednesday, battles broke out between ISIS and members of a Palestinian faction called Aknaf Beit al-Maqdis, which is reportedly loyal to terror group Hamas.
ISIS was able to overrun “large parts of the camp,” according to the Observatory.
However, the Palestinian group, with the help of Syrian rebels, was able to retake control of the ISIS-held territory inside the camp.
