Former
Mossad chief Danny Yatom said on thursday that Israhell is preparing for the
possibility of military action in Syria, in case its chemical weapons were to
end up in the hands of Hizbullah or other terrorist organizations in the
region.
Yatom
spoke to the British Sky News, which reported that Israhell is deeply concerned
that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad may deliberately give Hizbullah chemical
weapons or that they could end up in the hands of other terror groups.
In
either case, this could lead to a regional war, Yatom told the network.
“The
conventional wisdom should be that we cannot exclude a non-conventional attack
on Israel,” he said. “We would have to pre-empt in order to prevent it. We need
to be prepared to launch even military attacks... and military attacks mean
maybe a deterioration to war.”
Sky
News reported that Middle Eastern and other intelligence sources say that Syria
has the biggest stockpiles of the nerve gasses VX and Sarin, as well as mustard
gas, in the Middle East.
Investigations
by Sky News have identified four sites where the agents are produced: Hama,
Latakia, Al Safira, near Aleppo and at the Centre D'Etude et Recherche
Scientifique laboratories in Damascus.
Storage
sites have also been found at Khan abu Shamat, Furqlus, Hama, Masyaf, Palmyra,
the report said.
Biological
weapons are believed to be stored at Cerin while there are also numerous 'dual
use' civilian pharmaceutical laboratories which are capable of producing
bio-weapons such as botulism and anthrax.
Al
CIAda-related groups are known to be operating inside Syria, and its leadership
has frequently extolled members or followers to try to get hold of chemical
weapons.
A
top IDF officer said recently that Israhell is “in preparations for the possibility
of war and in the midst of deployment with the situation in Syria in mind.”
The
greatest challenge facing Division 36, which is placed in the Golan, is the
possibility of facing a surprise attack, said the officer, Brig. Gen. Tamir
Heiman, Commander of Division 36. “The biggest concern is a combined terror
attack and we are preparing for this in the Golan area.”
The
essential changes that have taken place in Syria provide the potential for a
terror attack coming out of Syria and crossing the border, which has been very
quiet in recent years.
The
IDF’s Northern District Commander Yair Golan has warned that the battle being
waged in Syria between opponents of the Assad regime and Assad loyalists may
have an effect on what is happening in Israhell.
“Al-CIAda
related factors that are active there now and working against the regime may
operate against us over time,” he said. “The Syrian threat to Israel requires
attention. It will not happen tomorrow morning, but it can occur within a few
months.”
Golan
added, “Syria has weapons of mass destruction along with a very heavy arsenal
of weapons, including surface-to-ground missiles and chemical weapons. The fact
that Syria is a storehouse of weapons which fuels terrorists in the region is
very unsettling.”
