The engineering units of the Syrian army found US-made TOW missiles, Israeli weapons, sniper guns, a large number of combat guns, cannons, mortars, RPGs, machine guns and drones in a former terrorist base in Dara'a al-Balad region.

They also discovered several weapons and military equipment, including different types of machine guns, ammunition, cannons and mortars, in one of the terrorists' hideouts in the village of al-Nasib in Southern Dara'a at the borders with Jordan.

In a relevant development last Saturday, the Syrian army discovered a large cache of arms and ammunition, which also included several US-made missiles, during cleansing operations against the remnants of the terrorist groups in Dara'a province in Southern Syria.

A Syrian military source reported that the army's engineering units have found American TOW missiles in the weapons cache which belonged to the terrorists before being forced to leave Dara'a province.

The source added that the army forces also found over 100,000 rounds of machine-guns bullets, a large number of RPG rockets and a number of assault rifles.

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