Authorities reportedly seized weapons, explosives, and arrested all cell members during the operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Baba, one of those detained led investigators to others, including the group\u2019s alleged leader, Muhammad Abd al-Ilah al-Jumaili, nicknamed \u201cAbu Imad al-Jumaili.\u201d He is a Syrian national from the al-Hajar al-Aswad district and was known within ISIS ranks as the \u201cWali of the Desert.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ministry also revealed that the suicide bomber who attacked the church and another would-be attacker arrested en route to the Sayyida Zainab shrine had both infiltrated Damascus from the Al-Hol camp in northeastern Syria via the Syrian desert, with logistical support from al-Jumaili. Neither of the attackers was Syrian, the statement noted.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>SDF Rejects Syrian Claims About Al-Hol Camp<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) denied claims made by Damascus that attackers emerged from Al-Hol camp, which houses families of former ISIS fighters.

It also noted that the camp, under SDF control, does not house foreign fighters capable of carrying out such operations, but rather their families, predominantly women and children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/15\/06\/2025\/syrias-al-hol-camp-to-release-43-isis-linked-families-in-coordination-with-un\/#\">Syria\u2019s Al-Hol Camp to Release 43 ISIS-Linked Families in Coordination with UN<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, the SDF emphasized that Iraqis leaving the camp were transferred under official agreements with the Iraqi government to the al-Jadaa camp inside Iraq.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new warnings of an ISIS resurgence come amid heightened concern about the group\u2019s ability to regroup in Syria&#8217;s desert regions and exploit ongoing instability.
