Hundreds of ISIS prisoners escaped from a detention center in Syria after clashes broke out between different armed groups in the area. The U.S. confirmed the escape, but there are conflicting reports on the exact number, with figures ranging from 120 to 1,500.
In response, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which had been guarding the camp, pulled out during the fighting. The U.S. also stated that its formal mission to support the SDF in countering ISIS has 'largely expired.' Various parties, including Türkiye and President Trump, have made conflicting claims about who was responsible for the prison break and the subsequent recapture of some detainees.
