Syrian Forces Capture “Saraya al-Jawad” Member in Latakia
The Interior Ministry reported that Basel Issa Ali Jamahiri was detained in the village of Duweir Ba‘bada, located in the Jableh countryside, on allegations of belonging to the group known as “Saraya al-Jawad,” which is linked to former special forces commander Suheil al-Hassan.
Authorities stated that multiple caches of weapons and ammunition concealed in different areas were also seized during the operation.
Suheil al-Hassan, once a commander in the army of the ousted Assad regime, is regarded as one of the figures most associated with repression against Syrians during the revolution years from 2011 to 2024. He is credited with playing a major role in the regime’s policy of violently suppressing demonstrations, including the deployment of barrel bombs.
The ministry explained that the arrest was part of a broader security campaign conducted by the Internal Security Command in Latakia province on Wednesday.
That same day, Syrian authorities reported the confiscation of improvised explosive devices and other weapons in an operation against the “Saraya al-Jawad” cell, which led to the capture of one member and the neutralization of three others.
The transitional Syrian government has pledged to strengthen security nationwide and pursue remnants of the former regime accused of inciting instability.
