Rayann El Houli, a 34-year-old Australian mother of four, has been charged with traveling to Syria to join the Islamic State group. Her arrest occurred at her home in Melbourne, eight months after she returned to Australia from Lebanon with her children. El Houli faces charges of entering and remaining in a declared conflict zone and joining a terrorist organization, both of which carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Her bail application is scheduled for Monday. The arrest follows the recent return of several women and children from Syrian refugee camps, with some facing similar charges related to their association with IS. El Houli's lawyer highlighted her struggles with PTSD and the importance of reuniting her with her children, who are reportedly thriving in school and sports programs. Australia had previously prohibited travel to areas controlled by IS from 2014 to 2017, and the ongoing investigations into the circumstances surrounding these returns continue to unfold.
