In areas of Syria under the control of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), led by Abu Mohammad al-Julani, a bizarre pattern of arrests has been reported. The same individual is allegedly detained every Monday and Thursday, with authorities claiming each time that Hezbollah is planning to assassinate a Christian priest in Damascus or smuggle weapons. The descriptions of the man have reportedly changed from one arrest to the next, with his skin tone described differently on separate occasions. This repetitive and inconsistent accusation suggests a potential propaganda effort or a pretext for ongoing security operations against a specific individual or group.
