Syrian Internal Security Forces announced the arrest of two individuals in the Qardaha countryside, on the coast, for their involvement in hiding weapons and ammunition, following the monitoring and raiding of a suspicious site in the village of "Bahouraya".

According to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), the security forces stated that they seized a number of Kalashnikov rifles, bombs, and ammunition at the site, in addition to "RPG" shells.

They indicated that the competent authorities are completing the necessary legal procedures against those arrested, in preparation for referring them to the judiciary.

Last Friday, the Syrian Internal Security Forces announced the dismantling of a cell linked to ISIS in the Hula area in the Homs countryside, thwarting terrorist plots targeting places of worship and security patrols, and arresting one of its members during an attempt to bomb a railway track.

According to a security statement, investigations revealed the involvement of one member of that cell in attempting to bomb a railway track, where he was caught red-handed while trying to plant the explosive device.
