The IDF's 210th Division arrested several suspects in southern Syria, the military said on Sunday. The division was deployed to the area to remove threats to Israeli civilians, particularly those who live in the Golan Heights, the IDF noted.
It was the division's Alexandroni Brigade who made the arrests as part of the defense activities in the area, the military added.
The brigade had also completed several raids on weapons depots this week and arrested terror suspects, who were transferred for further investigation.
The division's forces were also deployed from the Mount Hermon area to the "border triangle," which is on the borders of Israel, Syria, and Jordan.
The last reports of the division's activity in Syria were earlier this month, where Alexandroni Brigade soldiers targeted Hamas terrorists in the Beit Jinn area.
IDF troops executed a targeted nighttime operation in Syria and apprehended several Hamas terrorists who had been attempting to advance multiple terror plots against Israeli civilians and soldiers in Syria, using intelligence gathered by the military weeks beforehand.
IDF operations in Syria
At the beginning of the month, the division uncovered combat equipment, including several rocket shells and landmines, in southern Syria.
Days earlier, the division also treated more than 500 wounded Syrian civilians in the area of Hader in southern Syria over the past few weeks.
The division also commanded a paratrooper brigade, which in April had raided a Syrian outpost in the south of the country, where they dismantled out-of-service tanks, armored personnel carriers, and artillery used by the former Assad regime.
