The army units found arms caches and hideouts of the terrorists in purging operations in the towns located in Eastern Ghouta of Damascus, Dara'a and Quneitra in Southern Syria and the provinces of Homs and Hama in the Central parts of the country. They included a large number of weapons, military equipment and ammunition.

Field sources of the Syrian army also reported that several shoulder-launched anti-tank missiles, different types of cannons and mortars, West-made sniper guns, different models of guns and machineguns, wireless systems and night-vision goggles as well as a large volume of ammunition were found among the weapons.

Media reports revealed earlier this month that the US was providing direct military support for the ISIL in trade for Syria's artifacts.

Early in November, the Syrian army forces discovered and seized a large number of arms and military equipment manufactured by the US and Britain from the bases of terrorist groups that have been captured by the government troops in Quneitra and Damascus provinces.

The army units found a large amount of military equipment and ammunition in the militant groups' strongholds during cleansing operations in the village of Jabata al-Khashab in Northern Quneitra and the village of Beit Jin in Southwestern Damascus.

A field source said that the Syrian army forces have discovered several US-made machine-guns and sniper guns, TOW missiles and tanks as well as a large number of different types of bullets, mortars and communication systems.

They added that the army forces also found a large number of advanced medical and surgery equipment made by the US and Britain in the terrorists' dens.
