The IDF killed a terrorist cell in Syria that was planning an attack deep inside Israel, according to a report by journalist Hillel Biton Rosen. The cell had been under surveillance for two weeks and was eliminated by special forces and Brigade 6, who directed an aircraft strike.
The IDF eliminated a terrorist cell in Syria that had been planning an attack deep inside Israel, with special forces and Brigade 6 directing the airstrike after two weeks of surveillance, journalist Hillel Biton Rosen reported Monday at 09:35 Jerusalem.
As The Zioneer reported at 09:37 Jerusalem on Monday, the cell had been under surveillance for about two weeks and was suspected of plotting a major infiltration or assault on Israel's interior. All three versions published by the desk at 09:35 Jerusalem — beginning with a Channel 14 report, then citing Israeli military sources, and finally attributing the account to journalist Hillel Biton Rosen — consistently describe the cell as having been tracked for two weeks and struck by an aircraft guided by special forces and Brigade 6 as the operatives approached the border. The operation remains under a partial disclosure order, indicating that some details are withheld by military censorship.
The elimination follows a series of IDF operations against emerging threats in the Syrian Golan area. As The Zioneer reported on Sunday Jun 28 at 10:41 Jerusalem, Israeli forces eliminated several armed terrorists in the security zone in southern Syria the previous day. The cell's target — "deep" inside Israel, beyond the border and buffer zone — represents a more ambitious threat compared with recent cross-border incidents.
The specific location of the strike inside Syria has not been disclosed, and the IDF has not issued an official statement beyond the partial disclosure order.
