Syrian authorities arrest nine-member ISIS cell in town adjacent to Israel's demilitarized zone

The nine-member ISIS cell allegedly collected weapons, transported explosives, and carried out other activities supporting the terrorist group, according to Damascus's Interior Ministry.

Syrian authorities have arrested a nine-member ISIS cell in Khan Arnabah, a town near Israel's demilitarized zone, according to the Syrian Interior Ministry. The cell was involved in various terror activities, including collecting weapons, transporting explosive devices, and supporting ISIS operations. One of the arrested members, Musab Khalil al-Sheikh, also known as al-Sini, was linked to terror operations in multiple Syrian provinces.

The arrest is part of ongoing efforts to track down ISIS members and disrupt the group's supply networks. In June, the Interior Ministry announced the arrest of 235 ISIS members over three months, as part of a broader security campaign.
