Syrian security forces foiled a planned cross-border attack from its territory Sunday, allegedly planned by the ousted Bashar Assad regime's remnants and cells linked to Iran-backed Hezbollah, the Interior Ministry said.
From March 2 until a 10-day ceasefire went into force on April 17, Hezbollah was battling Israel after joining the latter's war on Iran.
In a statement, the Syrian Interior Ministry said security forces "arrested members of a sabotage cell" linked to Hezbollah and Assad remnants.
The ministry said the cell "was working to carry out an attack from inside Syrian territory on targets outside the borders" from Quneitra province, which borders Israel.
Syria's official SANA news agency, quoting a ministry source, said Hezbollah "intended to launch missiles across the border with the aim of destabilizing the country."
