Israel is deeply concerned that the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad is attempting to reconstitute its chemical weapons capabilities, and has undertaken two major air strikes since 2020 in order to prevent the regime from doing so, the Washington Post reported Monday.
Citing four unnamed Western intelligence sources, the outlet said the first attack took place on March 5, 2020 on a “villa and compound” in the city of Homs, north of Damascus, which had been a center of the regime’s previous chemical weapons program.
