Israeli forces eliminated a terror cell on the Syrian front on Sunday morning, according to a Channel 14 report. The cell had been under surveillance for roughly two weeks and was suspected of planning to infiltrate Israel and carry out a major attack deep inside the country. Special forces, together with IDF Brigade 6, directed an Air Force drone strike that hit the cell as they were en route to the border, the report said. The military had announced a strike on terrorists in the Golan Heights area earlier on Sunday morning, but the precise nature and surveillance background were disclosed only later. As The Zioneer reported on Sunday, the IDF had eliminated several armed terrorists in the security zone in southern Syria the previous day, and has continued to operate in the area to remove threats. The identity and affiliation of the cell — whether linked to Hezbollah or other Iran-aligned militias active in southern Syria — have not yet been officially confirmed by the IDF. Further details remain under a military censorship review.
