The SAA units involved in a mopping-up operation in areas of Eastern Ghouta have come across a large arms depot including weapons made in France.
The French-made weapons and ammunition were found during the demining operations in the villages of Madira and Mesraba.
France provided the militants with small arms, rocket launchers, and anti-tank missiles. In addition to weapons, France has also provided rebel groups with other forms of support including cash and military advisors.
