Syrian Army Finds U.S., Israeli Weapons in Quneitra
DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – The Syrian army has found Israeli and U.S. weapons left by the terrorists in the southern Quneitra province, state news agency SANA reported on Tuesday.
The weapons were found stashed in formerly terrorist-held areas in the southern countryside of Quneitra, which is close to the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Additionally, the army also found satellite communication devices and medication as well as stolen vehicles, according to the report.
The terrorists withdrew from Quneitra late last year to terrorist-held areas in northwestern Syria.
The Syrian government has repeatedly accused the terrorists of receiving support from the U.S. and the Zionist regime.
An informed source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Syria’s official news agency SANA that army troops had carried out clean-up operations in the southern countryside of the province, which is close to the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, on Tuesday, and found a weapons depot left behind by terrorists.
The source added that the ammunition included 37mm and 23mm auto-cannons as well as man-portable anti-armor rocket launchers.
A Western-made mine and an improvised explosive device (IED) detection system, binoculars, Thuraya satellite phones, a portable satellite internet system in addition to Jordanian, Saudi and Kuwaiti medicine were recovered from the militant redoubt as well.
Meanwhile, Russian warplanes have conducted 12 airstrikes against militant positions in Syria's northwestern province of Idlib.
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the aerial attacks targeted areas in close proximity to Idlib's central prison besides the towns of Falioun, Korin, and Bakflon on the western outskirts of Idlib early on Tuesday.
The Britain-based monitoring group added that the airstrikes caused heavy damage to militant positions.
Russian jets have been carrying out air raids against targets belonging to the Daesh terrorist group and those of other terror outfits inside Syria at the Damascus government’s formal request since September 2015.
The airstrikes have helped Syrian forces advance against anti-Damascus militants.
