He added that Takfiri terrorists in Syria were getting weapons bought under the Pentagon's program of assistance to armed anti-Damascus moderates.
Walid Khali, a Syrian army official, also said Jabhat Fatah al-Sham terrorists, who attacked Russian troops stationed in Syria’s west-central province of Hama on September 18, carried weapons made in the United States, Belgium and France.
The remarks came a day after Secretary General of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, said the United States is using its air force to protect Daesh militants from Syrian government forces.
“The United States protects Daesh in several regions of Syria by using aircraft, and prevents the Syrian army to end with the terrorists,” Nasrallah said.
The Hezbollah leader said Syrian army soldiers and allied fighters from popular defense groups should mop up the country's territory of the Takfiri terrorists, otherwise the militants would continue their attacks.
