The US military said up to 7,000 people will be moved from a detention facility in Hasakah, Syria.
U.S. forces moved 150 ISIS detainees from Syria to Iraq as CENTCOM began a transfer operation involving up to 7,000 radical prisoners.
The U.S. military said it had transferred 150 Islamic State detainees from northeastern Syria to Iraq and could eventually move as many as 7,000, as the Syrian government assumes control of the region from Kurdish-led forces.
The move comes as Syrian government forces take control of north-eastern areas where Kurdish-led forces have long controlled.
