Al Jazeera AR·SY·2 days ago
Syria's Interior Ministry announced the arrest of a senior ISIS operative who allegedly served as a top military commander for the group's 'Homs Province' and is accused of involvement in the deadly 2025 Homs mosque bombing. The arrest is a notable counterterrorism action by the new Syrian authorities, but details on the suspect's identity and the operation remain limited. This signals ongoing efforts to dismantle ISIS networks in Syria, though the broader security situation remains uncertain.
