“ISIS is using chemical weapons”

Yesterday a new photo sent directly from the war zone shows victims of ISIS that might prove that the organization is using chemical weapons against civilians. The picture taken in the city of Arsel in north east Lebanon where Hezbollah and the local military force is fighting ISIS, shows tanks and bags containing what looks like chemical weapons. According to the Lebanese, the weapons were found on the dead ISIS terrorists.

A report released by a researcher in the Interdisciplinary center in Herzliya, exposes testimonies by Kurds, fighting ISIS in north Syria, claiming the organization is using chemical weapons. According to them, during the last weeks, ISIS is actively using chemical weapons they obtained from the Syrian military storage rooms.

The UN published a report saying that 8% of the Syrian regime stockpile of chemical weapons is still being held by the Assad military force. Officials in Syria also admitted that 4 installations, including a research lab and a chemical lab – are still being used by the Syrians.

Israel is worried about this new information regarding the use of chemical weapons and worry that the more ISIS is approaching the border, the more chances they have to also use it against IDF forces along the border.
