Syria’s interior ministry said Sunday that security forces thwarted an alleged cross-border attack planned by cells linked to the Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah terrorist organization, APA reports.
In a statement, the interior ministry said security forces “arrested members of a sabotage cell” linked to Hezbollah.
The ministry said the cell “was working to carry out an attack from inside Syrian territory on targets outside the borders” from Quneitra province. However, authorities didn’t name the country that had been about to be targeted.
