On October 31, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) uncovered hundreds of mines during a search operation around the town of Bariqa in the western Quneitra countryside, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA). The mines were hidden inside a shipping container that had been buried underground near the separation fence with the occupied Golan Heights.
“We uncovered a large underground depot that contains many anti-tanks mines, which were removed from the ceasefire line [between Syria and the Golan Heights],” an SAA officer told the Syrian-state TV.
The mines’ type was identified as the Soviet-made anti-tank TM-57, which has 6.34kg of explosives. This type of mines is usually used by radical groups to make improvised explosive devices (IEDs) or even to booby-trap vehicles and buildings.
These anti-tank mines were likely left behind by militants of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), who had withdrawn from their positions in Quneitra in July under a deal with the Damascus government. HTS militants may have planned to use these mines to carry out terrorist attacks in the future.
Several similar weapons caches were found in southern Syria during the last few months. Two days ago, a large depot containing TOW anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) and other US-supplied weapons was uncovered in Quneitra.

Well camouflaged except for the blue paint. Don’t see any pix of screw in fuses. These discoveries are happening quite often now. Good :)
These are the mines and other weapons the CIA bought from Ukraine, Croatia, Poland and other eastern European puppet regimes for the headchoppers with Saudi money. They were left in the cargo container they came in and buried on the Occupied Golan, most likely transportation route via the port of Ashdod in occupied Palestine. The Zionist scum were quartermasters for the headchoppers on the Golan.
Just blow it up. It’d be a cool fireworks show lol
