Chemical security

WILL ISIS USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS AGAINST ISRAEL OR ISRAELIS IN EUROPE?


With ISIS desperate and on the run, is there a heightened danger that the group will use chemical weapons against Israel or against European targets, including Jews and Israeli tourists there? The Prime Minister’s Counter-Terrorism Bureau (LOTAR) warned over the weekend that ISIS might be plotting to carry out chemical attacks in Europe in the coming months.
LOTAR intends to issue a travel advisory to the tens of thousands of Israelis planning to vacation in Europe over Passover.
...ISIS has used chemical weapons in Iraq and Syria at least 52 times, according to a report published late last year by IHS Conflict Monitor, a London-based research and intelligence gathering group.

There is some confusion as to whether ISIS used chemical weapons again in early March during the battle for Mosul, but there is no question it has used it numerous times in the past.
