According to various reports from Syria, Israeli Air Force aircraft flew earlier today this morning above the presidential palace in Damascus, potentially as a message of sorts intended for Bashar al-Assad.
Several days ago, the head of the research division at the IDF Directorate of Military Intelligence, Brig. Gen. Itai Brun, said that the Assad regime has made use of chemical weapons. “There is a vast arsenal of chemical weapons in Syria. In our assessment, the regime has and continues to use lethal chemical weapons in a series of events, including those that occurred on March 19. The developments are disturbing – the very use of chemical weapons without appropriate global response may signal that it is legitimate. With regards to how this will develop, people should be very troubled over the possibility that chemical weapons might fall into the hands of less responsible elements who do not calculate gains and losses,” Brun said.
In the past, there have been several reports that claimed IAF aircraft flew over the presidential palace in Syria.
Furthermore, last January, foreign sources reported that Israeli aircraft attacked a weapons convoy moving from Syria to Lebanon. At the time, Syria claimed that the attack was directed at a research facility in the region of Damascus, and Syrian rebel forces told news agencies that the facility that was attacked served for the development of chemical weapons, among other things.
The IDF has declined to comment on the reports.
