In an effort to keep Syria from restarting its production of deadly nerve agents, Israel has carried out at least two attacks on chemical weapons sites in the war-torn country in the past two years, The Washington Post reported on Monday.
Citing current and former US and Western intelligence officials, the newspaper describes alleged Israeli airstrikes on June 8 that targeted three military sites linked to Syria’s former chemical weapons program. The strikes in Damascus and Homs reportedly killed seven Syrian soldiers, including an engineer who worked at a secret military lab.
