The Internal Security Forces in Syria announced the foiling of a terrorist plot targeting the Homs refinery, revealing that the terrorist cell was linked to Hezbollah militia. According to a statement from the Internal Security Forces, the General Intelligence Directorate, in cooperation with the Internal Security Forces, arrested the cell members and seized explosive devices prepared to target the refinery. This incident occurs amid rising tensions between the new Syrian government and Hezbollah, with Damascus accusing the party of transporting weapons within Syria, allegations repeatedly denied by the Lebanese group. Meanwhile, the U.S. President expressed his desire for Syria to take on the role of confronting Hezbollah instead of Israel, citing promises from the Syrian president to provide assistance in this matter. Additionally, reports emerged about direct talks in Turkey between Syrian officials and Hezbollah members aimed at easing tensions, but the Syrian side quickly denied these reports, describing them as inaccurate.
