Syria Apprehends Cell Linked to Damascus Bombings

The coordinated attack occurred during the first visit by a European Union head of state since the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, casting a shadow over the high-profile diplomatic trip. While the blasts targeted the immediate vicinity of the hotel where Macron stayed, the French leader remained unharmed.

Authorities have promised to release the identities, operational roles, and external affiliations of the detainees once the investigation concludes. The ministry continues to process evidence gathered from the site, aiming to clarify the network behind the incident as the capital navigates a sensitive period of transition.
