For the second time in the past week, the IDF says it captured a cell of operatives operating on behalf of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, during an overnight raid in southern Syria.

Reservists of the Alexandroni Brigade and field interrogators of the Military Intelligence Directorate's Unit 504 operated overnight in the Kwdana area -- close to the border and near an IDF post in southern Syria -- to detain the cell, the military says.

Several members of the cell who the IDF says were operating on behalf of the IRGC were nabbed.

On Wednesday, in a separate raid in southern Syria, several other IRGC-affiliated operatives were captured, according to the military.
