(The Telegraph) – Five Isis militants have broken out of a prison in northern Syria after Turkish shelling nearby, a spokesman in the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) has said. The detainees escaped from a prison in Qamishli city, Marvan Qamishlo said. Meanwhile, women affiliated with Isis attacked security officers with sticks and stones during unrest at a camp in the region where Turkey has launched attacks. The unrest at al-Hol camp started in the foreigners’ section and involved more people than previous

incidents at the camp, Mr. Qamishlo said. “The [Isis] women rose against the internal security forces at al-Hol, they set ablaze tents and attacked the administrative and security offices there with stones and sticks,” he added said. A video of the disturbance, distributed by the SDF and shot from a distance, showed around 20 fully covered women running in open space with several men appearing to pursue them. It came as Isis claimed responsibility for a car bomb attack in Qwamishli that killed three people. READ MORE
