Israel backs Syrian opposition accusations of poison attack

[King_David]

Israel Radio said on Monday that Israel has evidence backing Syrian opposition accusations that forces loyal to President Bashar Assad had used non-lethal chemical weapons in Damascus last month.

The report quoted an unidentified senior Israeli defense official as saying there were two attacks on March 27, using a "neutralizing chemical weapon", east of Damascus and at another location.
The report was broadcast shortly after Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon met the Israeli media. There was no immediate comment from government officials.

Last Thursday, opposition activists accused Assad's forces of using poison gas, showing footage of an apparently unconscious man lying on a bed and being treated by medics.

The alleged attack, the activists said, was carried out in Damascus's Jobar neighborhood. Reuters could not independently verify the footage or the claims due to security restrictions on reporting in Syria.

1. doesn't Israel use non-lethal chemical weapons on a weekly basis?

well non-lethal as long as the canister containing them isn't fired at someone head or they are not fired into a small house where the elderly resident can not get out in time
