Security experts and specialists in the affairs of terrorist groups Al-Hol camp represents a time bomb capable of exploding and fragmenting at any moment, especially in light of the security breaches, the success of ISIS in carrying out escape operations, and communication with the organization’s cells and elements outside the camp.

Sarteeb Gohar, a journalist and writer who is an expert on terrorist groups, who has visited the camp more than once, said in an interview with "Sky News Arabia": "What was recently announced about the existence of trenches and tunnel networks leading outside the camp walls, reveals once again that al-Hol is a time bomb that will inevitably explode.".

He indicated that: "What makes it more difficult to control these people is the sprawling area of ​​the camp and the high population density in it, which explains the inability of the security forces in the camp to impose their grip on it in the required manner, in order to prevent dangerous penetrations, as happened by exposing this network of tunnels".
