The State Security Directorate said it arrested in the district of Hasbaya a 4-member cell comprised of Syrian nationals who had been monitoring “strategic locations with the intention of carrying out terrorist attack plots,” the National News Agency reported on Thursday.

During interrogation, the mastermind who was identified as Kh.M., confessed to having formed groups affiliated to the Islamic State organization via social media.

He said he has posted instructions and images illustrating the fabrication of explosive belts and devices. He has also said that he promoted sectarian content encouraging incitement against President Michel Aoun and the Army.

The suspect admitted to having links to terror groups inside the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain el-Hilweh in Syria and Iraq.

He also confessed to having planned terrorist acts against a Lebanese party, Casino du Liban, and a number of nightclubs.
