Report Reveals Former Israeli Military Affairs Minister Met Terrorists Operating near Occupied Syrian Golan
A retired Israeli military General Staff Corps commander has revealed that former Israeli military affairs minister Moshe Ya’alon met with leaders of terrorist groups operating near the occupied Syrian Golan during his tenure, according to Press TV.
Major General Gershon Hacohen made the remarks at an Israeli conference earlier this week, the Israeli Haaretz newspaper report on Friday.
“When I was commanding a corps in the Golan and Bogie [Ya’alon] was defense minister, we sat with ‘three Syrian activists’ (terrorists) from the other side, from Syria,” said Hacohen .
Israel has largely remained silent about military cooperation and coordination with terrorists fighting the Syrian government, including supplying the terrorists with different kinds of weapons as well as developed equipments.
Israeli authorities have, however, openly admitted sending much food, aid and fuel supplies to terrorist having positions north of the occupied Golan.
Moreover, Israeli reports indicate that up to 70 percent of wounded treated “individuals” in Israel from Syria have been “men of fighting age,” said Press TV.
The Syrian army has, nonetheless, confiscated Israeli-made arms and military equipment from militants fighting the Syrian government on numerous occasions.
Israel has also frequently attacked military targets in Syria during the past few years in an attempt to prop up terrorist groups that were suffering heavy defeats against Syrian government forces.
