Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar announced on Monday, "We attacked strategic weapons, the residual chemical weapons capabilities, long-range missiles and rockets, so they won't fall into the hands of radicals."
The United States must now help finish the job, prioritizing pressure on Hayat Tahrir al-Sham to let international inspectors in and certify Damascus' chemical weapons are verifiably eliminated.
A US official indicated that Washington believes it has "good fidelity" on Syria's chemical weapons inventory, ensuring these capabilities aren’t at risk for acquisition by non-state groups.
The Assad regime possessed a robust stockpile of chemical weapons, assessed by the US State Department to have used them against its own people on at least 50 occasions.
