(Worthy News) – Israel struck a chemical weapons factory belonging to the former regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to prevent it from falling into rebel hands. The attack occurred just days after the United Nations Security Council was warned about potentially large quantities of unaccounted-for chemical warfare agents in Syria.
Days before Bashar al-Assad’s regime collapsed, the U.N.’s disarmament chief warned the Security Council that international monitors cannot confirm that Syria fully destroyed its chemical weapons.
Izumi Nakamitsu, reporting on December 5, said Syria’s latest declaration to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) remains “inaccurate and incomplete,” leaving potentially large quantities of chemical warfare agents unaccounted for.
The OPCW, which has overseen Syria’s obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention since 2013, recently opened inquiries into undisclosed chemical weapons development at two sites previously declared non-operational.
As Assad’s rule waned, analysts noted that the regime had concentrated weapons research in several branches of the government’s Scientific Studies and Research Center.
However, Israeli officials and experts confirmed that Israel recently struck facilities tied to these weapons, aiming to prevent them from falling into rebel hands.
