Zionist Regime Publicly Admits Arms Supplies to Terrorists in Syria
WEST BANK (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime’s outgoing military chief has revealed that the Zionist regime had been directly involved in the Syrian conflict, having acknowledged for the first time that the regime had supplied terrorists with light weapons for "self-defense".
Media outlets and Damascus have been speculating for years that the regime has been providing weaponry to terrorists in Syria during the country's seven-year war, but the occupying regime never commented on the reports, only saying that it had given humanitarian aid.
Lieutenant General Gadi Eizenkot, the army’s outgoing chief of staff, made the revelations in an interview with with the British daily The Sunday Times,
In September, the Jerusalem Post removed an "explosive report,” which revealed the regime had supplied weapons and ammunition to the terrorists in Syria’s Golan Heights. The paper later told Russia’s RT that the report had been taken down at the request of the Israeli army’s "military censor.”
The Foreign Policy magazine reported last September that Israel had covertly sponsored at least a dozen militant groups operating in southern Syria.
Citing interviews with several militant figures, the report said that Zionist officials had given $75 per-person monthly allowances to militants as well as funds to their ringleaders meant to procure weapons on the black market.
In return, the report added, the terrorist were expected to deter Hezbollah resistance fighters and Iran military advisers from the Israeli-occupied Golan.
In an interview with the New York Times earlier this week, Eizenkot acknowledged that Israel had carried out "thousands” of airstrikes in Syria in recent years.
In 2018 alone, the Israeli army dropped 2,000 bombs in Syria, he noted.
The occupying regime has been providing medical treatment to extremist elements wounded during fighting in Syria.
Tel Aviv frequently attacks military targets inside Syria in what is considered as an attempt to prop up Takfiri terrorist outfits that have been suffering heavy defeats against Syrian government forces.
On Saturday, Syria complained to the UN about the regime latest air raids, stressing that the "cowardly” attacks would fail to hamper its resolve to defend the country and confront its enemies. The Foreign Ministry said that the Israeli actions in Syria were no different from those of terrorist groups such as Daesh and al-Nusra Front.
