France has repatriated five orphaned children of French jihadists from camps in north-east Syria, where a five-year offensive against ISIS is drawing to a close.
Among the children repatriated were the three sons of a French woman who died under ISIS rule. Officials retrieved them from a camp in northern Syria where they were being held with as many as 3,000 other children of Isis families.
Al-Hawl camp is home to children of foreign nationals from more than 40 countries.
The newborn son of the British teenager Shamima Begum was among them until his death last Thursday.
Western nations have been wrestling with how to handle suspected militants and their families seeking to return from combat zones in Iraq and Syria, as the ISIS group teeters on the verge of defeat.
