The Jerusalem Post has removed an ‘explosive report’ confirming the Israeli military supplied light weapons and ammunition to Syrian militants or ‘rebels’ in Syria’s Golan Heights.

David Brinn, managing editor of the Jerusalem Post, told RT the report titled ‘IDF confirms: Israel provided light-weapons to Syrian rebels’ was removed from jpost.com at the request of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF):

“We were told by the army’s military censor to remove that part of the story”

The weapons arrangement was under the cover of the IDF’s “Operation Good Neighbor” program, portrayed as a humanitarian mission. Israel has been using these groups to keep Hezbollah away from the Golan Heights.

“IDF gives urgent treatment to Syria refugees, June 30, 2018. (IDF SPOKESMAN’S UNIT)”

This isn’t the first time the newspaper has written about collaboration between Israel and Syrian ‘rebels’. In 2014, it published an article based on UN-documented findings.

21WIRE has previously reported not only on this fact but how Israel’s coordination has extended to ISIS inside Syria. Case in point, you will never see Israel attacking ISIS on the battlefield.

The Syrian conflict continues to this day to be a proxy war, pitting various foreign ‘national interests’ against one another, including US vs. Syria, US vs Iran, Saudi Arabia vs Syria, Qatar vs. Syria, Turkey vs. Kurdistan and Iran vs. Israel – to name only a few.

Based on the swift crackdown on the media by the IDF, it’s clear this is yet another example of an ‘open dirty secret’ in Syria that Israel does not want you to see.
