From Fox News:
"“It appears the IDF may seek to eliminate Syria’s ability to
transport the weapons to proxy forces but not to eliminate the actual
weapons themselves by striking at storage facilities," Idan Kweller,
political correspondent for Israel Army Radio, told FoxNews.com.
"Israel’s main interest is to ensure the weapons are not passed on to
the likes of Hezbollah in south Lebanon.”
"The potential breakdown of the Syrian regime has reportedly paved the
way for any number of Islamist terror groups, including Al Qaeda, to
blend in with the Free Syrian Army, giving them cover to get at the a
chemical weapons stockpile Assad acknowledges having. That could
potentially pose a massive threat to Israel’s security and inflict
significant civilian casualties, according to experts."To read this story, please visit Fox News
