Israel Says Apprehended Members of Iran-backed Cell in Syria
Israel's military said Monday it had apprehended members of an Iran-backed cell in southern Syria, the second such operation it has announced in the past week. Since the December overthrow of Syria's longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad, Israel has carried out hundreds of air strikes primarily on military sites and carried out cross-border ground raids. In a statement, the military said troops "completed an overnight operation to apprehend a cell that was operated by the Iranian Quds Force in the Tel Kudna area of southern Syria." "For the second time in the past week... troops completed a targeted overnight operation and apprehended several operatives who posed a threat in the area," the statement added. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said Israeli forces raided early Monday a village in the Quneitra countryside of southern Syria and "carried out searches targeting several homes, which ended with the arrest of two brothers". On Wednesday, Israel's military said its forces had apprehended members of an Iranian-backed "terrorist cell" in southern Syria and seized weapons.

IDF arrests Quds Force-backed terror cell operating along Israel's borders
This marks the second time in the past week that the military arrested several Iranian operatives who posed a threat in the area. IDF special forces arrested a terror cell operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force in southern Syria, the military said on Monday. Following investigations by the IDF's Unit 504, soldiers from the Alexandroni Brigade, under the command of Division 210, completed a nighttime operation to arrest the terror cell operated by Iran's Quds Force in the Tel Kudna area in southern Syria, the IDF stated. This marks the second time in the past week that the military arrested several Iranian operatives who posed a threat in the area. The IDF's Unit 504 had also arrested Iranian terror cell members days earlier, also operating in southern Syria, following receiving special intelligence from the interrogations of other Syrian operatives. The operation last Wednesday also saw the IDF locating weapons in the areas where the terrorists were arrested, including several firearms and grenades. The Jerusalem Post disclosed in January that the unit, which is the military's human spying version of the Mossad, has been vital in unmasking Hamas's abuse of hospitals for a variety of terrorist and military purposes. Yonah Jeremy Bob contributed to this report.
