t is certain that the TOW missiles did not reach Harakat Hazm directly from the US, but through “friendly countries,” according to statements made by Abdullah Awda (the general military commander) to Liz Sly from the Washington Post, who was visiting one of Hazm’s main bases in the Idlib countryside. Awda refused to give more details about the source of the missiles, but “the donors made clear to him that the delivery had U.S. approval.”
It is likely that the Turkish government was the donor, especially in light of statements made by an opposition source to Al-Akhbar. “Harakat Hazm is the latest bet by the Turks, Qataris, and the Muslim Brotherhood. It is competing with the Syrian Revolutionaries Front (led by Jamal Maarouf) to win American support,” he explained. It is known that the Syrian Revolutionaries Front had been the Saudi candidate for explicit Western support.
