Syrian authorities announced on July 10, 2026, that they have arrested the cell responsible for the July 7 bombings in Damascus. Preliminary investigations indicate the suspects are affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS).
The bombings on July 7 targeted multiple locations in the Syrian capital, causing casualties and damage. The Syrian government has not released specific details on the number of suspects arrested or the exact locations of the attacks.
This development comes amid ongoing security challenges in Syria, where ISIL has maintained a presence despite territorial losses in previous years. The Syrian state news agency SANA reported the arrests, citing a security source.
