The Syrian Internal Security forces have apprehended a Hezbollah-affiliated cell in the Damascus countryside, specifically in Sasa and Kanaker. The arrests, which occurred earlier this week, were part of an operation aimed at thwarting planned attacks within Syria.
During the operation, authorities seized a substantial cache of weapons, including Grad launchers, anti-tank missiles, rifles, and large quantities of ammunition. Reports indicate that the detained individuals had received military training in Lebanon and were preparing to execute attacks targeting various locations inside Syria.
The presence of Hezbollah operatives in the region raises concerns about the ongoing influence of the group, particularly as tensions remain high in the area. This incident follows a pattern of similar situations, where security forces have been on high alert against potential threats from militant groups.
As the situation develops, the Syrian government is likely to bolster its security measures in response to these threats. This week"s arrests underscore the persistent volatility in the region and the challenges facing Syrian authorities in maintaining stability.
