AGPS’s correspondent in south Syria has confirmed the outbreak of violent clashes between the Khaled Ibn Al-Walid battalion, affiliated to ISIS and the armed Syrian opposition groups in the west of the Yarmouk Basin, which is home to a number of camps and gatherings for Palestinian refugees.
Our reporter added that the clashes have been ongoing for three days, as the opposition factions continue to fight ISIS for areas they lost control of in the Yarmouk Basin.
The remaining Palestinian refugees in the area are living in tough conditions due to the clashes and bombardments, as well as the tightening procedures ISIS is imposing on them, the lack of financial sources, spreading unemployment, aid cuts and poor health conditions.
The western side of Yarmouk basin had seen a wave of displacement, due to the intensification of clashes between ISIS and the armed opposition factions. The Khaled Ibn Al-Walid battalion took control of many areas in the Yarmouk Basin, including the towns of Tasil, Jileen, Sahm and Tal Al-Jamoua.
ISIS had committed a massacre late in February in Jileen town after, after clashes with “Al-Jaish Al-Hur” and its allied factions, leading to the death of a number of refugees documented by AGPS.
In March, ISIS targeted a number of refugees, leading to four middle and severe injuries among the refugees, as they tried to escape Jileen camp, which is controlled by ISIS.
