Ya’alon: No Sign Syria May Use Chemical Weapons

Local Editor

"Israeli" Vice Prime Minister Moshe Ya'alon stressed Sunday that "there is no sign the Syrian regime might use chemical weapons against "Israel"."

"Over the past decades Syria has armed itself with missiles and chemical weapons," Ya'alon said in an interview with "Israel" Radio, claiming that due to the "Israel's" deterrence, Syria has not used its weapons against it.

In parallel, Ya'alon refrained to comment on a London Sunday Times report that special "Israeli" Mossad units are operating in Syria to locate chemical weapons stockpiles, The "Jerusalem Post" newspaper reported.
"Israeli" PM Benjamin Netanyahu had stated in this regards, "We are monitoring closely, along with the international community, the events in Syria with regard to the chemical weapons stockpiles."

For his part, Director of Policy and Political-Military Affairs of "Israeli" War Ministry, Amos Gilad, reiterated that, "The Syrian chemical weapon is greatly protected, and President Bashar al-Assad probably realized the threats by world leaders of using this weapon."
