Israel Just Bombed a Chemical Weapons Factory that Syria Shouldn't Have Had
(VOX) Alex Ward - Israel bombed a suspected Syrian chemical weapons factory last week, just one day after the UN blamed Syrian forces for a chemical weapons attack in April. It's a very big deal that Syria still had a chemical weapons facility, given that it had earlier promised to give up all of those weapons. In 2013, Syria promised to give up its chemical weapons as part of a diplomatic deal with Russia and the U.S. to avert a planned American strike in response to Assad gassing almost 1,000 of his own citizens to death near Damascus.
