DAMASCUS: Internal Security Forces in Hama province dismantled a criminal cell operating in the al-Ghab area on Sunday, arresting all seven of its members.
A source at Syria's Ministry of Interior told SANA that one of the detainees confirmed involvement in the assassination of a resident of the Salhab area in Hama province. The killing, the source added, was documented in a video recording.
Efforts are continuing to identify additional suspects believed to be linked to the cell.
Syria is navigating a fragile political transition following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's decades-long dictatorship in December 2024.
The regime's rapid fall, triggered by a sweeping opposition offensive, led to the establishment of the Syrian Transitional Government in March 2025.
