Locals are reportedly helping the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) secure weapons left over from the civil war in the Arab country
Syrians are helping Israeli forces collect weapons, including grenades filled with chemical agents, left over from the civil war that has ravaged the Arab country for more than a decade, Hebrew media reported Monday.
The weapons are being delivered to villages located in or near Israeli-controlled areas of Syria, Channel 12 News reported.
“We found several weapons filled with chemical warfare agents,” an unidentified soldier, whose face was not shown on camera, said in a video broadcast by the station.
“You can see cheap grenades filled with chemical agents, and you have to add a fuse to activate them.
There are boxes full of grenades, with chemicals called ‘CS’,” he added.
The report included a photograph of a man dressed in civilian clothes standing next to the weapons.
The report did not specify who in Syria is delivering weapons to Israeli forces.
Israel seized areas of Syria near the shared border after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime on Dec.
8.
Israel’s presence in these locations is temporary and is intended to secure the border area, according to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.
Israel has also carried out intensive strikes in Syria since the fall of the regime to prevent dangerous weapons from falling into the wrong hands, Katz added.
