ISIS and Nusra raided the Palestinian camp. They beheaded refugees who resisted them. "Syrian observatory for human rights" is playing down the number of victims.
The Syrian army and Palestinian resistance forces managed to evacuate about 1600 - 2000 refugees but thousands remain in the camp. The Syrian army also launched a counter offensive together with the Palestinian liberation army which is under the command of the Syrian army.
"Thousands of Palestinians are trapped in the devastated Yarmouk refugee camp in Syria, which has mostly been seized by groups including ISIS, activists report.
The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says ISIS and the al Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front took control of 90% of the camp in southern Damascus."
The Palestine Liberation Organization called on international bodies to assist in the evacuation of people from the camp. "Reports of kidnappings, beheadings and mass killings are coming out from Al- Yarmouk, which is under a brutal campaign of murder and occupation," Palestine Liberation Organization Executive Committee Member Dr. Saeb Erekat said Saturda."
"CBS News' George Baghdadi reports that, according to Palestinian and Syrian sources, the Syrian government was planning an offensive to wrest control of the sprawling camp from the militants within a couple days.
SOHR said at least 26 people had been killed in Yarmouk since Wednesday, but the Al-Arabiya television network quoted local medical sources as saying the death toll was closer to 200, with most victims being civilians."
"Day seven of the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) offensive at the Al-Yarmouk Camp began with the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) launching a barrage of mortar shells at the latter’s positions on 30th Street; this led to fierce clashes on the border of the Al-Qadam District between the two parties.
With the firefights engulfing 30th Street, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) – in coordination with the Palestine Liberation Army (PLA) and Fatah Al-Intifada – attacked the ISIS militants on Libya Street, recapturing the territory lost to the enemy combatants on Sunday night.
The Palestinian resistance forces are now in control of 40 percent of the Al-Yarmouk and Falasteen Camp Districts, along with the majority of Al-Tadamon – the firefights at the latter district involves the Islamist forces not loyal to ISIS.
As a result of their success, the Palestinian resistance forces were able to secure the safety of 1,600 civilians inside the district by creating a safe passage to the north, where they were greeted by aid workers and soldiers of the Syrian Arab Army.
The SAA soldiers escorted the civilians to safety at a nearby camp and then transferred those seeking medical assistance to a local hospital.
According to a source from Jarmana Camp, the Palestinian resistance forces are trying to secure the safety of the remaining civilians in Al-Yarmouk Camp; however, they are unable at the moment due to the Islamist factions clashing with one another inside the district"
