Last I heard Israel couldn’t confirm Sarin…did I miss it?

Syria accused of chemical weapon use by Israel

A senior Israeli military intelligence official said on Tuesday that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons last month in his battle against insurgent groups.

It was the first time that Israel has accused the embattled Syrian leader of using his stockpile of nonconventional weapons.

…”To the best of our professional understanding, the regime used lethal chemical weapons against the militants in a series of incidents over the past months, including the relatively famous incident of March 19,” Brun said. “Shrunken pupils, foaming at the mouth and other signs indicate, in our view, that lethal chemical weapons were used.”

He said sarin, a lethal nerve agent, was probably used. He also said the Syrian regime was using less lethal chemical weapons, and that Russia has continued to arm the Syrian military with weapons such as advanced SA-17 air defence missiles.

Sounds like nothing is definite but the pictures of the bodies appear to be victims of sarin.
