ISIS in control of 80%-90% of Palestinian refugee camp near Damascus
2016-04-13
[Ynet] According to sources in Syria, ISIS controls 90% of the Yarmouk Paleostinian refugee camp on the outskirts of Damascus.

The camp is a major base for the PFLP-GC, a Paleostinian terror group with close ties to the Assad regime.

Reports say that a truce has been declared in the camp between ISIS and regime fighters, but festivities are still ongoing in the camp between al-Qaeda and ISIS.
According to Rudaw:
The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) has reportedly managed to takeover most of the Yarmouk Paleostinian refugee camp in Syria's capital Damascus.

"[ISIS] began attacking positions of its former ally [Jabhat] Al-Nusra and took control of 60 percent of the camp,"
It's the same order of magnitude as 90%...
the Paleostinie Liberation Organization's (PLO) chief in Damascus, Anwar Abdel Hadi told AFP.

"Some Nusra fighters joined [ISIS's] ranks," he added. "ISIS then besieged the remaining Nusra positions and demanded that they leave the camp."

Yarmouk was once home to 160,000 Paleostinians and Syrians. The ongoing war in Syria has devastated it and forced most of its inhabitants to leave. A mere 6,000 civilians remain in the devastated area along with as many as 3,000 ISIS bully boys.

ISIS had previously overrun large parts of the camp in April 2015, in coordination with Nusra, but were pushed back by armed Paleostinians and forces loyal to the regime of Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
