The terror group ISIS has taken over a Palestinian refugee camp inside Damascus, only miles from the presidential palace of Syria’s Bashar Assad with reports of mass killing and beheadings.
The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights watchdog group said the Islamist militants have taken over 90 percent of Yarmouk, on the southern edge of the Syrian capital.
“Reports of kidnappings, beheadings and mass killings are coming out from Al-Yarmouk,” said Saeb Erekat, an member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization’s executive committee, Saturday evening. “The priority must be to save the Palestinian refugees in the camp by creating a safe passage for them out of the death trap that Al-Yarmouk has become.”
He called on the United Nations, the International Committee for the Red Crescent and the Syrian government to help evacuate civilians.
The main group fighting ISIS inside the camp is Aknaf Beit al-Makdis, an offshoot of Hamas. Two opposition sources told the Financial Times the Syrian army had allowed a Palestinian militia allied to Assad’s forces to send weapons to the Hamas offshoot fighting in Yarmouk.
