Syrian security forces dismantle Daesh terror cell near Damascus
- Authorities, in coordination with the General Intelligence Directorate, struck a terrorist hideout and arrested several militants
- Syria and the US accuse the group of carrying out a deadly ambush against its personnel in Palmyra
LONDON: Syrian internal security units dismantled a cell of the Daesh terror group in the Daraya area southwest of Damascus on Sunday.
Authorities, in coordination with the General Intelligence Directorate, raided a Daesh hideout and arrested several militants.
Syria and the United States have accused the terror group of carrying out a deadly ambush earlier this month that resulted in the deaths of three Americans and injuries to two Syrian service personnel in Palmyra, in central Syria.
Brig. Gen. Ahmad al-Dalati, head of internal security in the Damascus countryside, announced that the operation resulted in the dismantling of the cell and the arrest of a Daesh leader, along with six other members. Several weapons and ammunition were also seized, he added.
He said the operation is part of the interior ministry’s broader strategy to eliminate terrorist sources, avert threats to community security, and maintain peace and stability in the country, the Syrian Arab News Agency reported.
On Friday, the US military launched large-scale retaliatory strikes and group operations against Daesh targets and operatives in Syria.
