Wounded And Alone, Children Emerge From Last Islamic State Enclave Unlisted Video

According to Reuters, Hareth Najem fled Islamic State’s last enclave in eastern Syria wounded and alone. The Iraqi orphan’s family had died two years earlier in air strikes across the border. Hareth was 11 years old when Islamic State created its “caliphate” in Iraq and Syria, killing thousands of civilians and attracting an array of enemies. SDF commander Adnan Afrin said that around 20 children crossed the frontline on their own this week, including Iraqis, Syrians, Turks and Indonesians.
