It seems that terrorism is the only known skill in Syria by everyone who lives there today. Syria practices state-sponsored terrorism. It has aided and abetted if not initially produced Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command, The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Abu Musa Organization, and Popular Struggle Front. The insurgents have been identified by Assad as members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The northern border of Israel is Syria. Twice, every citizen of Israel has been issued gas masks due to Syria's known stash of chemical weapons that they have used against their own people. Being that Syria is in a civil war, the fear is that they will either be used again to gain the upper hand or that these weapons would fall into the hands of terrorists that would use them against Israel.
Brigadier General Itai Brun, the Israeli military intelligence head of their research and analysis, told a security conference in Tel Aviv that President Bashar Assad has already used chemical weapons many times. He has documented facts of visual evidence from the French and British that it has happened near Damascus only last month. "CW was used in a Syrian Army attack in Aleppo on March 19. At the time, the Syrian opposition said 31 people were killed by CW munitions." The report included the fact that the CW was used in a reduced form so as not to create vast casualties. I doubt if they would do that on an attack on Israel.
In my estimation, Syria has resorted to using these non-conventional weapons because the rebels-insurgents have been provided for in ways other than weapons by the USA and NATO. .
Also, John Kerry, US Secretary of State, urged NATO in Brussels to make ready for this fact on the very day of Brun's conference in Israel.
Now this development will cause pressure on the USA and other Western countries to intervene. President Obama had said before that using chemical weaponry is a "game changer". NATO is still saying that the alliance will not intervene in the civil war.
Knowing of the possibility of Israel facing such an attack again, 4.7 million gas masks have been distributed in Israel. 4,000 of them were distributed since January. They manage to get about 1,400 every week to the population which has grown. Israel has 6 million Jews and about 1.7 million Arab citizens today. Christians and others make up the total.
"In the 1980s, Syria acquired chemical warheads for aerial bombardment and for its SS-21 and Scud-B missiles." "By the end of the decade, Libya also began to produce large quantities of mustard and nerve gas, and acquired Soviet Su-24 long-range bombers."
Then again in 1991 with Saddam Hussein leading, Iraq had threatened with chemical weapons in the 1991 gulf War. 40 surface to surface missiles were launched at Israel and each one could have had chemicals. Israelis were educated about defensive actions to take and had sealed rooms in their homes for refuge.
