QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The Syrian Interior Ministry announced on Tuesday that it had foiled what it described as a “terrorist plot” allegedly orchestrated by Lebanon’s Hezbollah, targeting state security and senior government figures
In an official statement, the ministry said its specialized units, in coordination with the General Intelligence Service, carried out “a preemptive and decisive strike” against the network. The operations reportedly took place simultaneously across several provinces, including Damascus, Aleppo, Homs, Tartus, and Latakia.
According to the statement, the raids resulted in dismantling an organized cell whose members had entered Syria after undergoing what authorities described as “intensive specialized training” in Lebanon.
Preliminary investigations, the ministry added, indicated that the group had been preparing to execute a series of coordinated attacks, including targeted assassinations of high-ranking government officials.
