Syria arrests group behind Mezzeh airport attacks, weapons traced to Hezbollah

The interior ministry said security units had detained all members of a group responsible for several recent rocket attacks on the airport in Damascus. Surveillance of suspected launch sites revealed that the weapons used originated from Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Hezbollah denied the allegations and stated it had no activity or ties with any group inside Syria, claiming its presence was over due to Assad’s regime collapse.

Authorities seized a number of drones the group was preparing for future operations.

The ministry said only that the detainees were linked to unidentified “foreign entities,” without mentioning Hezbollah or Iran.
