Syrian forces have uncovered a large weapons cache in the Eastern Ghouta subrub of Damascus in the framework of the ongoing security operation in the area. The weapons cache included multiple mortar shells, rockets and IEDs.
Eastern Ghouta was liberated from militants on April 14. However, the security situation in the area remains unstable. So, government forces are actively conducting security operations there.
I’m sure there are still some Rebels hiding among the civilians, and the distinction between the two can be quite blurred.
There are no rebels, only terrorists.
You, like many people, are using ‘terrorist’ to mean ‘bad guy.’ A terrorist is someone who uses indiscriminate murder for political gain, sure some Rebels fit into this category but not anymore than any other Syrian faction.
The US always pumps staggering amounts of weapons into wars, commonly supplying both sides. Death and destruction are the only growth industries the US has.
