The United States has begun transferring detainees linked to ISIL (ISIS) from northeastern Syria to Iraq, as Syria’s army continues to take control of more territory previously held by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

The US military said in a statement on Wednesday that it transferred 150 detainees who were being held in a detention facility in Hasakah, Syria, to a secure location in Iraq.
