    An SDF commander has confirmed to me that the Ain Issa camp has fallen and all the detainees (a population of thousands that includes ISIS supporters, ISIS relatives and civilians) have fled. “An unbelievable mess,” the commander said. Latest message:pic.twitter.com/yDehTSKkux

        2. Here is a screengrab from a pro-ISIS channel on the app Telegram, as ISIS rejoices at the “bushra” (good news) regarding the liberation of their supporters at Ain Issa:pic.twitter.com/RyvI08ZDKR

        3. Among the ISIS women held at Ain Issa was Tooba Gondal from Britain. She has given interviews claiming remorse, but according to Simon Cottee, University of Kent senior lecturer, she is “hardcore” ISIS and is responsible for luring numerous others to the group’s caliphate.pic.twitter.com/7ZNoC9ztNC

        4. According to Cottee, she’s had three ISIS husbands. The second was a suicide bomber who killed 90 people. Another was a big-time recruiter. Unclear where she is now and whether she escaped alongside other fleeing detainees when Ayn Issa camp fell today.pic.twitter.com/qlkxpq2SF9
