Daesh uses Assad's weapons depots

The regime of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, backed by Russia and Iran, is in full co-operation with Daesh, the terrorist organization that Russia, Iran, and the West see as the biggest threat to the world.

Regime forces load munitions then leave them for Daesh terrorists. The militants shift the weapons from the depots and after several days, Assad forces retake the depots from Daesh.

This is the “change the control" strategy applied between Assad forces and Daesh militants in many cities, including Aleppo and Homs.

Photographs released by an activist group in Syria show that Daesh captured one of the largest regime force weapon depots in the city of Homs and shifted the weapons to the northern Syrian city of Aleppo.

US-led coalition forces, the Russian military, Iran and Assad forces all have turned a blind eye to Daesh ammunition shipments from Homs.

On January 19 this year, Daesh took control of the Ayyash weapon depots in Deyr Az-zor without incident. Russian and regime forces in Deyr Az-zor airport, only a few kilometers away from the Ayyash depot, did not take any action against the attack.

Daesh militants shifted the weapons from the depot with trucks and evacuated the depot within 48 hours.

All the trucks have reportedly reached a Daesh stronghold in the north of Aleppo without any obstacles.

This “change of the control" strategy have been implying several times in several areas.

On September 17, 2014, Daesh seized the oilfield in Tel Shair from regime control. The terror group shifted a great deal of weaponry from the area and on September 26, the regime forces retake the place without any clash.

Assad forces then refilled the weapon depots and handed it over to Daesh, which re-took it on November 7, then re-filled and handed it over to Daesh on November 19, retook it on November 26 and handed it over to Daesh on May 5, 2016.

During the latest seizure, Daesh captured three tanks and three BMP vehicles.

This type of weaponry services by exchange the control of depots has been seen in Aleppo, Hama, Homs and Idlib.

Both Russia and regime forces, who declared Daesh the most dangerous enemy in the country, help the terror organization to collect weapons and store them in the northern part of the country near the Turkish border.

The terror group is believed to have made preparations against any sudden raid from the Turkish military, as Turkey always insisted on a free-zone along the Azaz-Jarabulus corridor.
