    Israel strongly condemns the chemical weapons strike carried out by Syria on April 7, one year after the mass murder carried out by the regime in Khan Shaykhun (April 4, 2017). 

    The Syrian regime continues to perpetrate crimes against humanity in using these outlawed weapons.

    The latest attack joins a long series of similar attacks using chemical weapons perpetrated by the regime since Assad undertook to disarm from such weapons. The attack shows clearly that Syria continues to possess lethal chemical weapons capabilities and even to manufacture new ones.

    In so doing Syria is grossly violating its obligations and the decisions of the international community in this matter.
