Syrian forces have discovered a cache of Israeli-made weapons in the strategic city of Mayadin, in the province of Deir ez-Zor, days after liberating the city from ISIS terrorists.
The weapons included several types of heavy, medium and light firearms that originated from Israel, some European countries as well as members of the NATO military alliance.
A field commander said they had also found mortars, artillery equipment, large quantities of anti-armor munitions and a NATO- made 155mm cannon according to Syria’s state news agency SANA.

Press TV reports:
This was not the first time that the Syrian government forces made such discoveries from terrorist hideouts across the country.
According to SANA, only a few days back they captured an Israeli cannon along with large amounts of weapons, ammunition and communication equipment from Takfiri terrorists in the area of Jib al-Jarrah in the eastern Homs countryside.
Syria has been gripped by foreign-backed militancy since March 2011. The Syrian government says the Israeli regime and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri terrorist groups wreaking havoc in the country.
Israeli violations of Syria’s sovereignty
Although Israel has sought to avoid direct involvement in the six-year conflict, it has acknowledged conducting frequent attacks against military targets in Syria, in what is considered by experts as an attempt to prop up terrorist groups among their many losses.
The latest of such attacks occurred on Thursday, when Israeli tanks fired shells into Syrian territories from the occupied Golan Heights.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the attack, calling it a response to a “projectile” that was allegedly fired from Syria earlier in the day and landed on “open ground” without causing any casualties.
The attack followed an Israeli aerial violation of Syria’s airspace near the Lebanese border on Monday.
Syrian military forces responded to the intrusion by opening fire on the aircraft, hitting one and forcing them all to flee.
According to a statement by the Syrian army, the Israeli jets then fired multiple missiles from inside the occupied Palestinian territories, causing material damage to a Syrian army position in the countryside of the capital Damascus.

Imagine that?
This is not a story, for they are the chosen people, and can do whatever they wish, and it should not be questioned. Just be thankful they are not telling you bring me your wife and daughter so I can rape them, or your son cause hey we don’t discriminate, if they did you would have to run and get them and wait until the chosen ones are done with them and just get on with your lives and hope they do not return.
We shouldn’t even joke about this ‘chosen people’ bs. Christians are the chosen people described in the New Covenant. Judaics are the people cursed by God for their worship of pagan Babylonian idols and exiled from the land God promised to Abraham in return for following God’s commandments and covenants, and cursed by all the curses mentioned in the bible for adding and subtracting from God’s word in Torah.
