Israel said on Tuesday that Syrian government forces have used chemical weapons against civilians since the start of a ceasefire aimed at preparing the way for an end to the five-year civil war. When Obama and Kerry cover for the Assad crimes against humanity, Israel exposes Assad chemical attacks against civilians.
The truce, sponsored by Russia and the United States, began on Saturday and has been dogged by opposition charges of non-compliance by Damascus – something the psychopath Baschar al-Assad has denied. It does not apply to missions against jihadist rebels.
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said in a speech to a conference organized by the New Tech military and aviation group in Airport City, near Tel Aviv:
“The Syrians used military grade chemical weapons and lately have been using materials, chlorine, against civilians, including in these very days, after the supposed ceasefire, dropping barrels of chlorine on civilians,”
He did not provide further details.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the Syria truce efforts on Sunday but said his country might still carry out attacks in the neighboring Arab state to thwart any threats to its security.
A fact-finding mission of the global chemical weapons watchdog (OPCW) concluded in 2014 that the use of chlorine gas has been “systematic” in the Syrian civil war, even after the country surrendered its stockpile of toxic weapons.
Both sides have denied using chlorine “barrel” bombs, which the OPCW said are dropped out of helicopters. The Syrian air force is the only party in the conflict known to have helicopters.
A joint mission by the United Nations and the OPCW is currently investigating who is responsible for the chemical attacks.
When the coward Obama and his incompetent Secretary of State keep silent to cover for the atrocious crimes Assad is committing during a truce, Israel exposes Assad chemical attacks against the Syrian civilian population.
… And some ignorant Arabs and Muslims think Israel is a curse.

It is only right and proper you would quote the same fascist regime which is tormenting the people of Palestine. You have no shame.
The Jews lived in Palestine BEFORE the Palestinians.
