Israelis Stock Up On Gas Masks

Fears in Israel over the possibility of an attack on the Jewish state with chemical weapons leaked from Syria are mounting after both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and an Israeli Air Force spokesman reiterated concerns about the toxic weapons falling into the wrong hands such as Lebanese militants Hezbollah. Reports have emerged that the Israeli Air Force has even carried out an airstrike in Syria near the Lebanese border to prevent a transfer of weapons, lending credence to the mounting anxiety.
