Syrian Internal Security Forces take out cell of Hezbollah terrorists planning sabotage, ISF says
According to the ISF, the Hezbollah cell had been plotting sabotage in the Yarmouk Basin in the Daraa area, and therefore Syria had launched a preemptive security operation.
Syria's Internal Security Forces (ISF) reported the arrest of a Hezbollah cell with three members, who were allegedly planning an attack. The ISF stated that this cell had been plotting sabotage in the Yarmouk Basin, located in the Daraa area. The terrorist organization had attempted to set up several rocket launch platforms, which were subsequently dismantled by the ISF's preemptive security operation.
According to Israeli security assessments, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has been allocating the majority of the nation's resources, including tax revenues and international aid, towards strengthening the military and acquiring advanced weaponry. This strategy, according to Israeli analysts, prioritizes an arms buildup over infrastructure development, rebuilding efforts, and improving the welfare of civilians affected by the 15-year conflict.
The ISF's announcement has raised concerns within the intelligence community, as it suggests that President al-Sharaa's operational plans may be directed towards a potential strike against Hezbollah in Lebanon and pro-Iranian Shiite militias in Iraq, whom he has expressed hostility towards.
