Abed al-Salem abed-Rizak, a deserter who served in the chemical weapons department of the Syrian army, said that the substance Syrian President Bashar Assad's army used in Homs against the rebels is poisonous Sarin gas. "The use of this gas in Homs is an attempt to check the international community's heartbeat," he told the London-based newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat.

Abed-Rizak added that "this is an easy-to-use gas because it does not remain in the air for long; allowing Assad's forces to enter places where the gas was sprayed after less than half an hour. (Roi Kais)

Israel voiced doubt on Tuesday about the accuracy of Syrian activists' reports that chemical weapons had been used against rebels fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad.

"We have seen reports from the opposition. It is not the first time. The opposition has an interest in drawing in international military intervention," Vice Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon said on Army Radio.
