Israeli defense officials have now said that Syrian President Bashar Assad still has up to three tons of chemical weapons.
Assad agreed in 2013 to declare and dispose of all his chemical weapons but the disarmament which was carried out amid a chaotic conflict has always been doubted. And now the United States and many other nations have said Assad’s Syrian Government has since carried out chemical weapons attacks.
The assessment based on Israeli intelligence, was revealed to reporters weeks after a chemical attack in Syria killed at least 90 people, which Israel and much of the international community believe was carried out by Assad’s forces.
