TEL AVIV – The U.S. in recent weeks aided in the transfer of shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles, or man-portable air-defense systems, to the Syrian rebels, according to informed Middle Eastern security officials.

The Middle Eastern security officials speaking to WND said the latest U.S.-facilitated weapons transfers signify the most advanced deliveries yet to the Syrian rebels.
The officials said the deliveries included man-portable air-defense systems, or MANPADS, which are shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles typically used to down low-flying aircraft, especially helicopters. The missiles are meant for the rebels to utilize against the Syrian Air Force, said the officials.
The officials said the transfers were facilitated by the U.S. while the weapons themselves were purchased by Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
