Israeli Strike On Syrian Chemical Weapons Facility Confirmed

Looks like we have confirmation of Israel’s strike on the Masyaf chemical weapons facility:

The Syrian army says Israeli jets have attacked a site in the west of the country where Western powers suspect chemical weapons are being produced.

An army statement says rockets fired from Lebanese airspace hit a military post near Masyaf, killing two soldiers.

A monitoring group says they struck a scientific research centre and base storing surface-to-surface missiles.

Israel, which has carried out clandestine attacks on weapons sites in Syria before, has not commented.

The attack comes a day after UN human rights investigators said they had concluded a Syrian Air Force jet had dropped a bomb containing the nerve agent Sarin on a rebel-held town in April, killing at least 83 people.

Funny how Israel is far more willing to enforce Obama’s chemical weapons “redline” in Syria than Obama ever was…
