Israel has a presence in Syria and it is thus logical that it would know if chemical weapons had been used in the civil war, a Syrian rebel leader has claimed.

Speaking to CNN, the Chief of Staff for the Free Syrian Army, General Salim Idriss, said Israel is one of the countries that now has “many, many” security services inside Syria.

He told the news network he believes Israel’s Mossad is in the country.

Idriss was responding to remarks by the head of the Research Section of Military Intelligence in the IDF, Brig. Gen. Itay Brun.

Brun said at a conference held by the Institute for National Security Studies on Tuesday that Bashar Assad's regime had used chemical weapons in Syria recently.

Several people were killed as a result of this, he said.

"To the best of our professional understanding, the regime has made use of deadly chemical weapons against the rebels in a number of incidents in the past few months," he said, referring to a March 19 incident in Aleppo province in which 31 people were killed, apparently by chemical agents.

Israel has always had spies in Syria and spies in the sky. A few years ago they were able to spot the Syrians quietly trying to build a heavily camouflaged nuclear bomb plant and they just as quietly bombed it to smithereens. This year they bombed a convoy attempting to transfer heavy weapons to Hezbollah and probably damaged their chemical and biological weapon research centre there as well. You must remember that in Syria there are large oppressed minorities such as the Kurds and political undergrounds, now mushrooming in numbers, who are more than willing to help the enemy of my enemy in any way they can. The Israeli claim that Assad used chemical weapons on his own people looks to be based on good information and is not just propaganda.
