Syria’s Palestinian Yarmouk Camp almost fully taken by Daesh: PLO

Daesh has taken control of most of the Palestinian Yarmouk refugee Camp in Syria after pushing out a rival Takfiri terrorist group, says the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

“Daesh began attacking positions of its former ally al-Nusra and took control of 60 percent of the camp," said PLO chief in Damascus Anwar Abdel Hadi on Tuesday.

According to Hadi, three civilians have been killed in the clashes between the rival factions in the camp, located in southern Damascus.

"Some Nusra fighters joined Daesh ranks. Daesh then besieged the last remaining Nusra positions and demanded that they leave the camp," he said, adding that now some 6,000 civilians and 3,000 Takfiri terrorists inhabit the camp

The terrorist takeover has been confirmed by the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and has been announced in Takfiri media outlets.

Last April, Daesh managed to seize parts of the camp with the help of its former al-Qaeda-affiliated ally, but was eventually repulsed by Palestinian factions and Syrian government troops.

The camp was once home to 160,000 Syrians and Palestinians. However, it has turned into a ghost town as a result of the violent attacks by anti-government terrorists over the past five years of tumult in Syria.
