Report: Syrian border villagers and rebels collecting weapons and handing them to IDF
|
[IsraelTimes] Video from inside Syria shows crateloads of weapons and ammunition being loaded into trucks; IDF soldier says some contain ‘chemical warfare material’
Syrian villagers on the border with Israel have been collecting weapons and ammunition left in the area by the army and handing them over to the Israel Defense Forces, Channel 12 reported Monday.
In a video broadcast by the channel, hundreds of crates containing ammunition and weapons could be seen gathered and then loaded onto trucks.
According to the report, rebels who swept out the Assad regime last week are also helping in the operation.
The weapons apparently come from Syrian army bases and outposts where soldiers abandoned their positions amid the rebel takeover. Some were also leftovers from the years of civil war in Syria, the report said.
IDF soldiers at the scene explained that some of the weapons contained "chemical warfare material." These included hand grenades they said contained CS gas, commonly used as tear gas. One soldier said there were crateloads of such grenades. They cause irritation and must not be touched directly, he said.
Israel entered a United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
-patrolled buffer zone on the Golan Heights hours after the rebels took Damascus. Israel has said it will not become involved in the conflict in Syria and that its seizure of the buffer zone established in 1974 was a temporary defensive move that would last only until it could guarantee security along the frontier.
The Channel 12 report said that that security officials are seeking to establish cooperation with residents of border villages in the buffer, who in the past have worked with Israeli security to prevent hostile actors from entering the area. The threat of such hostile force could be a factor in the IDF’s activities in creating a line of defense in the buffer zone for residents on the Israeli-controlled side of the Golan Heights, while it is still able to, Channel 12 said.
Haaretz reported that the IDF says there has been contact with the Syrian Druze, including meetings during which a request was made to gather weapons that were looted from abandoned Syrian army sites.
However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
according to that report, villagers on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights have asked the new Syrian regime and other Arab countries to push Israel out of the area and were concerned over how long the Israeli military would remain.
Possibly both statements are true, as the violagers try to thread the needle of current IDF presence and future rule by Hayat Tahrir al Sham. Meanwhile,
...back at the the conspirators' cleverly concealed hideout Montefiore's foot was still stuck and the hound had completely soaked his uniform with slobber...
the Ynet outlet cited Russia’s state-owned Sputnik network as saying an IDF helicopter landed near a Syrian military facility on Monday and dropped off soldiers who entered the site. The soldiers remained for about 20 minutes before leaving and flying south, the report said.
Sputnik has been denounced by some as a Russian disinformation outfit.
Israel launched a major campaign after the fall of the Assad regime on December 8 to destroy the Syrian military’s strategic military capabilities, in a bid to prevent them from falling into the hands of hostile elements. Targets have included chemical weapons
...have not been used since WWI except for in Iraq, by the late, unlamented Saddam Hussein and in Syria, but really, honest, not by the Syrian government. And in Germany in WWII, but that was against civilians. Lots of them, just one of many reasons Hitler's also late and unlamented...
sites, missiles, air defenses, and air force and navy targets.
