Israel: Syria Is Using Chemical Weapons

 

 Israeli General: Syrian 'Regime Has Used And Is Using Chemical Weapons' -- The Guardian 

Military intelligence chief says Bashar al-Assad's regime has used lethal chemicals – probably Sarin – against opponents.

The Syrian regime has deployed lethal chemical weapons, probably the nerve gas Sarin, in recent months, Israel's top military intelligence analyst has told a security conference in Tel Aviv.

 "There's a huge arsenal of chemical weapons in Syria. Our assessment is that the [Assad] regime has used and is using chemical weapons," said Brigadier-General Itai Brun, head of military intelligence research at the Israeli Defence Forces.

Photographs of victims which showed them foaming at the mouth and with contracted pupils were signs that gas had been used, Brun said at a conference organised by the Institute for National Security Studies.
