Israeli Newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, reported on Wednesday that after the recent explosions in the Syrian capital, Damascus, Hezbollah party ordered its leaders and prominent members not to visit Syria.

The order specifically includes the security leaders of the party and is effective until further notice.

These orders were issued after a booby-trapped vehicle exploded in the center of Damascus killing 17 residents, including a senior Syrian military leader.

Hezbollah issued similar orders after one of its leaders, Imad Mughaniyya, was assassinated earlier in August this year.

The party considers Syria as a place to rest from the strict security measures that its leaders have to take due to Israeli threats to assassinate tem, but recently the Syrian security devices found out that some of the party’s cells are operating in Syria.

Furthermore, leaders of Hamas movement in Damascus took some protective measures fearing possible Israeli assassination attempts.
