A top commander in the Free Syrian Army (FSA), captured by rival rebel faction Jabhat al-Nusra, has claimed he collaborated with Israel in a “confession video” released by a Shariah court.
In the video, the commander claimed he had accepted a large quantity of light arms as well as Soviet-made anti-tank missiles in return for promising to maintain control over the Golan Heights border and ensuring no other rebel factions approached the frontier.
The commander also claimed that the medical treatment some rebels received in Israel was coordinated through his force and the Israeli military, under a pact in which no rebels would go near the fence without permission.
Israel has not confirmed directly arming any rebel faction, and the accuracy of the video cannot be confirmed. Since it is a confession given while captured, it is possible it was coerced.
The US must have learned from somewhere this whole business of supporting terrorists everywhere.
Didn’t one of those anti-tank shell explode in the Golan and Israel blame Assad upon which Israel bombed a facility in Syria?
convenient, eh?
I am sure Israel coordinated that shell as I believe some of the Hamas rockets are shot from friendly to push need for actions. It is all a game and very little should be trusted.
Good job Israel. Someone needs to help the rebels, and medical care for wounded civilians is one way to do it.
So Jack you think it is a good idea the israel provides weapons to terrorist? To me the next major target for ISIS is Israel. Every attempt to make changes in the Middle East has become a disaster and that especially true in Syria. We pay a ton of money to keep Israel.
