Syria’s Interior Ministry announced on April 11 that five people have been arrested over a plot to attack an unidentified religious figure in the capital, Damascus, alleging the cell was linked to Hezbollah.
In a statement, the ministry said that security forces observed a woman as she attempted to “plant an explosive device in front of the house of a religious figure” near a church in Damascus’s Bab Touma neighborhood.
Security forces intervened and dismantled the device, then went on to arrest all five members of the cell, the ministry added.
“Preliminary investigations revealed the cell’s link to Lebanon’s Hezbollah, and that its members received specialised military training abroad,” the statement reads.
Later, both Syria’s Al-Akhbariya TV and Israel’s e Kan public broadcaster identified the religious figure that cell attempted to target as Rabbi Michael Khoury.

Just a day earlier, Syrian security forces conducted an operation in the town of Khan Arnabeh in the southern governorate of al-Qunitra, with later reports revealing that a cell that attempted to shoot down an Israeli fighter jet bombing neighboring Lebanon was arrested.
These operations came despite the fact that just last week Syria witnessed a series of protests last week against the recently approved Israeli law allowing the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners. Personnel from the military and security forces took part in the protests, and even went as far as threatening Israel.
Following the start of the American-Israeli war on Iran, Syria began to escalate against Hezbollah, deploying troops along the border with Lebanon and uncovering several smuggling tunnels. Reports even suggested that the country’s Islamist rulers are planning a military operation against the group. Syrian officials have denied, but the recent accusations suggest that this could eventually happen.
Any attack from Syria against Hezbollah, which is currently facing an Israeli offensive, will likely trigger a fierce response from Iran and its allies, especially in Iraq.

israelis faking their own attacks again to justify more attacks on syria i hope the day comes that jewlani gets hung from a lamp pole. he is a crypto jew just like zelensky those t ra itors need to be eliminated. they are a menace to the people they oppress.under as s ad syria was at least still independent and kept israel expanionism in check. the w ar against iran would not have happened if a ssad didnt fall. erdogan is a dirty zionist helper. gives them oil to israel fueling the genoc ide
what a load of bs. total moronic imbecilic propagandas for garbage news pay attention hill billy cling on was desperate yo go to war against iran on 2016 and if she had won they would have. she would have wiped them out to gain brownie points from the globalists who would have installed the sharh and he would have played along all the way. and she knew it. allegedly
whereas trumps not met with the prince charming character or shown any inclination to restore feudalist monarchs into iranian territories
the fact the attemp failed makes me mo sad!
five people tried to kill rabbi in damascus? oh shiìiiiiiittttt!!!! here’s a free box of adult diapers from our company….go die somewhere else rabbi…try morocco…
what a nasty piece of work you are imo. horrible excuse for an allegedly christian, if that what’s you pretend to be. obviously your religion of genocide mass murder grand theft would be more appropriate elsewhere
the jew haters lose again!!!
people just don’t like genocidal, child r@ping khazars aka fake jews… like you who’s most likely of polish decent.
but i won your gf heart! and you know that!
sit on it pottsy
oh so saul alisky the d satanist worshipping friend of hilary with your perverse reverse as plain as day. transparent as a plastic bag and just as disposable.
the jooz are scurrying like roaches into their funk holes. the ones who aren’t panicking and paying fat bribes to get out through egypt. meanwhile hezb. have turned lebanon into a happy hunting ground and it’s open season on jooz.
the “syrian government” appears to be just another branch of the israeli government.
you appear to be a nazi.
you appear to be a hasbara troll
al jewlani is probably under full control of mossad!
everyone knows that m15 runs mossad. all from the city. not israel.
actually the city runs israel in its entirety, not just mossad. and the city reports to the investors behind vanguard…..
wow, what a serious escalation
sf ambition is to pretend the negotiations between iran and the usa aren’t even happening. they can’t stand it that already the swapping of pitical prisoners is being arranged and that anericas sent mine sweepers in to clear the straits they’re just desperate to conceal the truth with more of their programmed nazi propagandas for pharoah. imo
the amerikunts don’t do minesweeping. any amerikunt ship going anywhere near hormuz has a one way ticket to davy jones locker – if the toilet problems don’t get them first.
hezbollah should expect more trouble. the isreali apartheid regime are getting a good beating in lebanon and need the backup. as nato is up to its necks in genocide it makes sense for nato to send their fake muslim proxy army to finish what the isreali apartheid regime can’t finish. no real muslim would lift a finger to help this genocidal religious cult in isreal. what is running syria is a cutout.
such a good little englishman aren’t you? so fantastic prince mbs is allied with israel no islamic country supports iran. not one really only terrorist organisations run from one central source muddying the killing fields imo.
shave your back. you’ll feel better.
the joo tank crews are abandoning their tanks and running like rabbits!
“syria” doesn’t exist as an independent country. it’s a region under occupation from the apartheid settler colony of “israel”.
created “to please the king of england” get it right. none of the jews wanted to live there untill that was their only choice. grow up and stop vomiting ridiculous propgandas from fairy stories of mass psychosis.
ahmed al-sharaa is mossad/cia
both are s run from the city through the inns. catholic private property.allegedly
my senile americunt wife bob like swallow much hebrew jizz
i think you mean the guilds. and yes, the catholic normans conquered (and enslaved) the orthodox anglo-saxons in 1066 because their boss, alexander the second, wanted londinium back. london is not part of england, the king (like his ancestors) has to ask permission to enter.
syria’s interior ministry = idf mossad. bull
zionist puppet ahmed sharaa want to create false flag to target hezbollah and please his master in us and israel. this so called whabbi slalafi scum are making sunni fool and kill them
syria, israel’s bitch…
doesn’t matter how much you bow down like the pakistani government dogs or turkey, you will always be sand nig….. of middle east to israelies. have some dignity and free your country otherwise you will be replaced.
