Israel ‘raids Iranian-run terrorist cell' in Syria and arrests suspects
The Israeli army said on Monday it arrested a "terrorist" cell run by the Quds Force of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps during an operation in southern Syria. The army said it carried out a targeted overnight operation in the Syrian town of Kudna in Quneitra province and "arrested operatives that were operated by Al Quds Force" and "posed a threat in the area". It said troops 'remain deployed in the area, continuing to operate and prevent the entrenchment of any terrorist entity in Syria, with the aim of protecting the residents of the State of Israel". The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor reported that Israeli forces raided the village of Al Dawaya in Quneitra, searched a number of houses and arrested two brothers. Syrian media said Israeli forces arrested six people including a child in the countryside of Quneitra. since the fall of Bashar Al Assad 's regime in December, Israeli troops have been stationed in Syria where they have established a buffer zone near the border. Syrian authorities have condemned Israel for pushing deeper into the country. The Israeli military last week said it had captured another 'terrorist cell operated by Iran' in a raid in southern Syria, with Syrian state media reporting three people had been arrested. Israel has also carried out strikes in Syria aimed at denying the Islamist-led interim administration military assets. On June 12, Syria said the Israeli military killed one civilian and detained seven people in an overnight incursion, with the Israeli army saying it had seized members of Palestinian militant group Hamas. Israel has said it is "interested" in establishing ties with Syria and neighbouring Lebanon, but insisted the strategic Golan Heights – which Israel seized from Syria in 1967 and later annexed in a move not recognised by the UN – would "remain part of Israel" under any peace accord.

Terrorist cell radicalizing Muslims and migrants busted
Several members of a terrorist cell operating in Russia's Nizhny Novgorod Region have been detained by law enforcement officials, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) reported on Monday. The group consisted of seven citizens of an unnamed Central Asian state, according to a press release by the agency. The suspects are said to have been acting on the instructions of a foreign emissary of an international terrorist organization, presumably located in Poland. The FSB has not disclosed the name of the organization in question. The members were ordered to disseminate terrorist ideology among local Muslims and labor migrants in Nizhny Novgorod Region, located about 400 km east of Moscow. The end goal was to seize power in order to establish a 'global caliphate,' the FSB said, adding that the suspects were also recruiting supporters during secret meetings. The FSB published a video alongside the press release showing the detention of the seven individuals, as well as raids on their homes. Investigators are said to have seized illegal propaganda materials, means of communication, and electronic storage devices used by the cell members for their terrorist activities. The FSB's Investigative Department for Nizhny Novgorod Region has now opened criminal cases against the two leaders of the terrorist group, while its rank-and-file members have been placed under administrative arrest and will soon be deported to their country of origin. Earlier this month, the FSB also reported disrupting the activities of a teen-led terrorist group in Stavropol Region, which is located close to majority-Muslim areas of Russia in the south of Russia where officials say radical Islamist movements continue to pose security risks. The group reportedly planned to attack police officers at multiple locations during Victory Day celebrations on May 9. Officials did not disclose the name of the terrorist organization to which the teens had pledged loyalty.
