The Syrian Interior Ministry reported in August that it had arrested 235 suspected members of the group and thwarted seven planned operations over a three-month period, in an offensive that allowed for the dismantling of cells in the provinces of Hama, Aleppo, Deir ez-Zor, Homs, and Damascus.
That attack took place in the Syrian capital a week after an explosion next to the Palace of Justice that left 10 dead.
