He added that "the operation to storm those areas is part of the plans of the security leadership to secure all areas liberated from the threat of terrorist activities, as they are regions with complex terrains that facilitate hiding operations."

He confirmed that "intelligence information confirmed that the cells of the criminal organization have established new secret tunnels used for hiding and storing weapons."
