IS, which last year declared a self-styled "caliphate" over large parts of Syria and Iraq under its control, has fought against the Assad regime as well as other rebel groups as it seeks to gain territory.

An activist in Yarmuk said IS launched the attack on the camp after some of its members were detained following the murder of a leader of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas there on Monday.

Rebel fighters have been gaining territory in the southern province of Daraa, cradle of the 2011 Arab Spring-inspired uprising against Assad that triggered the Syrian civil war.

Last week they seized full control of the ancient town of Bosra al-Sham, pushing pro-regime forces out after days of heavy fighting.

In January rebels -- including fighters from the Al-Qaeda affiliated Al-Nusra Front -- seized an important government army base in the province.

Say, what about so-called Paleostinian “Rights” and all that crap? Oh, I forgot, Arabs can slaughter Palestinians but Jews can’t add a balcony to their apartments in East Jerusalem. Sorry, I forgot that the the Paleostinians are permanent Refugees according to the UN. No other peoples have that unique title. So now that their Islamic brothers come to kill, rape and pillage their camps can we all recall that in 1982 Israel was wrongly blamed for the Sabra & Shatilla massacre, carried out by Christian Lebanese Phalangists? Double standards...
