The SDF's head tells the BBC Turkish-led air strikes are harming the fight against the terror group.
More than 50,000 people currently live in al-Hol, the largest detention camp for suspected IS fighters and their familiesLocal forces in north-east Syria have told the BBC that they may be forced to abandon camps holding Islamic State group detainees.
"It would lead to a second civil war in Syria and our counter-terrorism operations against IS would stop," he said. "As part of the international coalition, we fought and defeated IS, and what Turkey is doing will undermine all of it."General Mazloum Abdi says they have suspended operations against the IS terror group due to Turkey's air strikes
The SDF said that a number of Turkish air strikes targeted al-Hol. The attack killed seven security officials responsible for guarding the camp. Six foreign detainees escaped during the assault, but were later recaptured. The most recent operation, in 2019, saw Turkey capture the area between the towns of Tal Abyad and Ras al-Ain, leaving the Kurdish-controlled region of Kobane between territory controlled either by Turkey or by Turkish-backed militia.
