More New Evidence of US & Israel Supporting Terrorists in Syria
On Wednesday September 5th, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) revealed that the Syrian Army ("authorities") had uncovered yet another weapons cache in the southern Syrian countryside of Quneitra containing US and Israeli weapons and supplies. The weapons were found during sweeping operations in two villages in the area.
SANA’s reporter said that the weapons include US TOW missiles, Israeli-made grenades, rocket launchers, night-vision goggles, various kinds of ammunition, RPG launchers and mortar rounds of 130 mm and 80 mm.
Amounts of medical supplies and medicines were also discovered in the area in addition to equipment for the so called “White Helmets”, including fake blood, cosmetics and plastic body organs used for media fabrications.
In addition to the cover photo above, the following photos were provided by SANA:

This is but the latest cache of weapons recovered from Jihadist terrorists in Syria containing US and Israeli-made weapons, as the SAA has repeatedly found the same in seized and uncovered weapons caches left behind by the terrorists in freshly liberated pockets of Syria.
This recent discovery comes on the heels of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) admitting for the first time that it has supplied cash, weapons and other supplies to "Syrian rebels" (Jihadi terrorists), revealed in a Jerusalem Post (JP) article published on September 4th.
The JP removed the report within hours of publishing it, but thankfully it is still available to read as it was archived. According to the report, Israel had been arming at least 7 different "rebel" groups in the occupied Golan Heights, including one whose spokesman had previously bragged to the Wall Street Journal that, "we wouldn't have survived without Israel's assistance." Israel claims the program was intended to help keep Hezbollah and Iranian fighters away from Israel's border. "The army believes that the decision to provide weapons and cash to the rebel groups along the border with Israel’s Golan Heights was the right decision," Anna Ahronheim wrote. A couple screenshots are posted below for documentation:

This support has already been well documented, including Israel's medical treatment of Jihadi terrorist fighters injured in battles with the SAA, and the Syrian authorities including President Assad himself have often accused Israel of funding the terrorists and supplying them with weapons. The only difference now is Israel has admitted it, proving once again that all the crazy 'conspiracy theorists' pushing this narrative for years were right all along, as was the often demonized President Assad. Go figure. It's no wonder the article was pulled within hours of being published!
Rewind a few more days to September 1, and two Jihadi militants attempting to carry out a terrorist attack in eastern Syria who were captured by the SAA "claimed that they had been trained and armed by American instructors in a camp near the US military base in al-Tanf," according to the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD).
The fighters from the militant group, "Lions of the East," were attempting to carry out "a series of terrorist attacks in the vicinity of the city of Palmyra" when they were engaged by the SAA, the ensuing clashes leaving 2 of the 4 terrorists dead. These attacks were meant "to ensure the passage of the main forces of about 300 militants to capture the city within the next week," according to the Russian MoD. Palmyra has passed back and forth between government and terrorist control throughout the 7 year terrorist proxy-war to overthrow democratically elected President Bashar al-Assad.
The existence of Jihadi terrorists freely operating out of a refugee camp near the US military base at al-Tanf, where US forces occupy a small pocket of eastern Syrian territory on the border of Iraq, has frequently been pointed to by critics as a terrorist safe haven protected by US occupying forces. Many have speculated that the US is not only doing nothing to eradicate this pocket of Jihadi fighters, but is actually actively arming and training them, a theory which seems more and more likely with each new piece of evidence such as this coming forward. In the not so distant past, Hezbollah accused ISIS terrorists who carried out a brutal attack in nearby Sweida city, of being fully armed and equipped in al-Tanf, carrying out the attack "with their [US's] obvious assistance."
Such claims appear more and more likely to be true with each new revelation of US support for terrorists in Syria. Likewise, the US Army denouncing the known fact that terrorists operate freely in pockets of the US-occupied al-Tanf area as Russian 'misinformation', despite the UN and NBC also reporting the same, clearly indicates the US is protecting terrorists in Syria and doesn't want Americans to know about it. The Tweet where US Army spokesman warned against this Russian "misinformation" is below:
Sorry, US Army, but the cat's out of the bag - good luck protecting those 'moderate' head-choppers though.
