Syrian soldiers discover Israeli-made arms in militant weapons cache in Homs

Syrian government forces have found various types of weapons and munitions, some of them Israeli and European-made, inside a weapons cache belonging to foreign-sponsored Takfiri terrorists in the country's central province of Homs as they continue to make territorial gains in battles against the extremists.

Syria’s official news agency SANA reported that Syrian army troopers made the discovery during clean-up operations in Houla region, which is located northwest of the provincial capital city of Homs, on Wednesday.

The ammunition included general-purpose PK machine guns, KPV-14.5 heavy machine guns, Western-made FN FAL sniper rifles as well as Israeli-built assault rifles and grenades.

Meanwhile, a so-called monitor group says Syrian government forces are making progress in the battles against Daesh terrorists in the southwestern province of Sweida.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the battles are raging in the eastern and northeastern desert regions of the province as army soldiers are pushing to flush Daesh Takfiris out of their last strongholds in southern Syria.

The Observatory added that four government fighters were killed overnight when a Daesh terrorists launched an attack. Local residents later managed to catch the extremist involved in the act of terror, and hanged him.
