Syria: Rebels using Israeli arms

Syrian media showcase images of weapons allegedly produced by Jewish State

Syrian media outlets reported Friday that President Bashar Assad’s security forces seized huge quantities of weapons used by rebels across the country, including Israeli-made arms.

According to the unconfirmed reports, Assad’s troops seized a machinegun, Israeli-made bombs, automatic rifles, various explosive devices, protective vests, night-vision equipment and military uniforms, among other things.

Syrian television showcased the weapons Friday evening and claimed that some of the arms originated in Israel. Some of the weapons featured Hebrew inscriptions, yet it was unclear who was holding the arms and where the images were photographed.

Weapons showcased on Syrian TV   The latest Syrian reports are apparently meant to discourage anti-Assad rebels and present them as traitors who enlist the help of the “Zionist enemy” in their battle against President Assad.   Notably, this was not the first time that images of weapons allegedly produced by Israel emerged during the so-called “Arab Spring.” In previous cases, both government forces and rebels used such images to portray their foes as traitors.

Last year, shortly after the beginning of the Libyan uprising against Muammar Gaddafi’s rule, rebels presented weapons they claimed originated in Israel and were used by Gaddafi’s forces.

    Like an octopus,,their tentacles are everywhere and cross contaminating everything….Ynet claims Libyans revolted against Khadaffi, but that is not how I remember what happened. And in at least one video I watched I heard Spanish being spoken. Paid warmongers, Spanish mercenaries do no equate to Libyan rebels, imo.

    Why aren`t independent bodies conducting an impartial enquiry into these claims? could it be because all so-called “impartial” bodies are corrupt?

    Several years ago, mid-1997 a former colleague of mine informed me of one FORMER Indonesian DIPLOMAT (turned “politician”), who had been stationed in one small European country, who had “supplied: the Indonesian Police with Israeli-made BULLETS! Which caliber I do not know, for sure the Indonesian cops OFFICIAL sidearms have been .38Special REVOLVERS. Only a tiny number of some of its officers in the Intelligence Unit carried .9mm NATO/”Parabellum” semi-autos that looked like the sleek TAURUS made in Brazil.

    I highly suspected that said “supplier” of the Israeli-made ammos had been “approached” by some MOSSAD dudes, who were stationed as well in the same small European nation — the home of the legendary GLOCK
