Qamishli, Syria, Nov 23, 2022 (AFP) — A Turkish strike Wednesday targeted Kurdish forces who control northern Syria's Al-Hol detention camp, home to more than 50,000 people including relatives of suspected jihadists, Kurdish forces and a war monitor said.

"Turkish planes targeted the (Kurdish) Asayesh security forces with five strikes inside the camp," Farhad Shami, a spokesman for the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, told AFP. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, instead said the strikes targeted Kurdish forces guarding the camp's exterior, "sparking chaos among (camp) residents".
