The IDF raided Southern Syria several months ago and captured a Syrian national who is believed to have operated Iranian terror networks from the area, the military announced on Sunday.
Ali Soleiman al-Assi, a Syrian citizen, lives in the area of Saida in southern Syria.
His work included gathering intelligence on IDF troops in the border area for future terror activity of the network.
He has been under surveillance by the IDF for some time and was detained and transferred for interrogation in Israel.

The IDF said that the raid had directly prevented future attacks and exposed an Iranian terror network operating out of Syria.
IDF raids continue
This update comes only a few days after the IDF raided Lebanon to capture a Hezbollah commander, Emad Fadel Amhaz.
During that raid, members of Israel’s elite Shayetet 13 commando unit entered an apartment building where Amhaz was staying.
The operation took four minutes and occurred in the northern Lebanese city of Batroun, about 140 kilometers from the Israeli border.
This is a developing story.
