Israeli outgoing military chief has publicly revealed that the Zionist entity has been directly engaged in the Syrian crisis.

In a farewell interview with the Sunday Times, Gadi Eisenkot, who is retiring as Israeli Chief of Staff this week, revealed that Israel had been directly involved in the Syrian conflict, having acknowledged for the first time that Tel Aviv had supplied Syria’s anti-government groups in the border area with light weapons for “self-defense”.

Media outlets and Damascus have been for years accusing the Zionist entity of providing weaponry to terrorist groups in Syria during the country’s seven-year war, but Tel Aviv never commented on the reports, only saying that it had given humanitarian aid.

In September 2018, Foreign Policy magazine reported that Tel Aviv had secretly supplied arms and provided funds to at least 12 Syrian terrorist groups.
