Syrian Gov’t Forces Discover Israeli-Made Bombs
DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – Syrian government forces have discovered bombs made by the Zionist regime inside a weapons cache belonging to foreign-sponsored terrorists in the country's western-central province of Hama as they continue to make territorial gains in battles against the terrorists.
Syria’s official news agency SANA reported that Syrian army troopers launched a large-scale operation in the northern sector of the province to clear liberated towns and villages of remnants of terror groups and mines left behind the terrorists.
Government forces then uncovered a militant arms depot in the town of Aqrab, located more than 210 kilometers (130 miles) north of the capital Damascus.
The weapons cache contained various munitions, including bombs made by the Zionist regime, assault rifles, pistols, PKC machine guns, wireless communication devices, mortar shells and sniper rifles.
Separately, an unspecified fighter aircraft has crashed in Syria’s northeastern province of Hasakah.
Syria’s state-run television network reported that the warplane went down on the outskirts of al-Shaddadi town in the southern part of the province, and broadcast images of its charred debris.
It was not immediately clear whether the military aircraft was of Syrian Air Force, Russian Air Force or the US-led coalition purportedly fighting the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group.
Meanwhile, a Syrian journalist working for a pro-government television channel lost his life while covering territorial advances made by government forces and allied fighters from popular defense groups in battles against foreign-backed terrorists near the Lebanese-Syrian border.
SANA reported that Mustafa Salamah was killed on Tuesday as army troops and their allies were moving deeper into Tal Mashara area in the eastern countryside of Syria’s strategic southwestern province of Quneitra.
Salamah was fatally shot as government troops and allied fighters were engaged in fierce exchanges of gunfire with terrorists from the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham group, formerly known as al-Nusra Front.
Syria has been gripped by foreign-backed terrorism since March 2011. The Syrian government says the Israeli regime and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri terrorist groups wreaking havoc in the country.
Russia has been helping Syrian forces in an ongoing battle in the province of Dayr al-Zawr as Daesh struggles to keep its last positions in eastern Syria.
