The Israeli military claims that Israeli forces just captured an Iranian agent in Syria

The Israeli military said on Sunday that it had recently arrested a person in Syria who it claimed was an Iranian spy who had obtained intelligence about Israeli forces near the border.

The individual was identified by the military as Ali Soleiman al-Assi, a Syrian national from the southern Syrian region of Saida. Although it did not specify a specific date, it stated that the procedure occurred in recent months.

“The operation by Israel Defense Forces troops to detain al-Assi prevented a future attack and led to the exposure of the operational methods of Iranian terror networks located near the Golan Heights,” according to the military.

It stated that al-Assi was taken to Israel for examination.
