IDF Detains Hamas Terrorists in Syria for Weapons Stockpiling, Attack Plans

In a precise overnight operation, IDF soldiers arrested several Hamas terrorists in Syria who were plotting attacks against Israeli civilians and military forces. The operation, led by the Alexandroni Brigade under Division 210, took place in the Beit Jinn area, just across Israel's northern border.

According to the IDF, the operation was the result of weeks of detailed intelligence work. The captured Hamas operatives were actively preparing multiple terror attacks aimed at both Israeli civilian targets and IDF troops operating near the border with Syria.

Following their arrest, the terrorists were transferred into Israeli territory for interrogation by Unit 504, the IDF’s elite intelligence-gathering unit. The questioning is expected to yield valuable information about Hamas’s broader network and its growing efforts to expand terror operations beyond Gaza and into Israel’s northern fronts.

In addition to the arrests, IDF troops uncovered a significant cache of weapons during the operation. The seized arsenal included firearms, magazines, and ammunition, intended for use in future terror attacks.

This successful mission highlights the growing threat posed by Hamas's attempts to establish operational cells outside Gaza and underscores Israel’s ability to strike preemptively to protect its citizens. The infiltration of Hamas into Syrian territory reflects the terror group’s ongoing coordination with Iranian-backed proxies seeking to encircle Israel on multiple fronts.

Israel’s defensive strategy remains sharply focused not only on securing the southern border against Hamas in Gaza but also on neutralizing emerging threats in the north, where Hezbollah and other Iranian-backed forces continue to pose a significant danger.

As the IDF remains vigilant across all arenas, this operation serves as a powerful reminder of Israel’s uncompromising commitment to safeguarding its people against those who seek their harm.
