The IDF eliminated a dangerous terror cell in the Golan Heights area that had been under surveillance for about two weeks, Israeli military sources told The Zioneer. The cell was suspected of plotting a major attack deep inside Israel. Special forces and Brigade 6 directed an air force airstrike as the operatives approached the border. The operation remains under a partial disclosure order.
The IDF thwarted a significant infiltration plot in the Golan Heights area on Monday morning, eliminating a terrorist cell that had been under surveillance for approximately two weeks, according to military sources. The cell was en route to the border when it was struck by an Israeli Air Force airstrike directed by special forces and Brigade 6 (the Etzioni Brigade, part of Division 210). The military assessed the cell was planning a major attack inside Israeli territory and described the operation as removing an imminent threat. The cell had been tracked closely for days before the strike. The disclosure of the operation remains partly restricted by a military censor order — the exact location and identities of the operatives have not been released. The incident follows a similar IDF statement from Sunday regarding the elimination of armed terrorists in the Israeli security zone in southern Syria, but Monday's operation involved a cell specifically flagged for planning a deep-incursion attack.
