Syrian rebels affiliated with al-Qaeda recently captured a Syrian military depot containing Scud missiles, according to reports in Arab media outlets. The reports differ on whether the site, located in the east of the country, also contained chemical warheads.
Lebanese news website Ya Libnan reported Friday that fighters from the Islamist rebel group Jabhat al-Nusra captured the long-range missiles in a military complex in Deir al-Zour.
“What you see here are Syrian long-range missiles that were manufactured in Iraq and brought to Syria. Happily, they are now in our hands,” the rebels said in a video posted on YouTube.
Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Ya’alon said in an interview with Army Radio Sunday that he was familiar with the reports and that Israel is closely tracking developments in Syria, but sees no immediate danger from that front.
“When we identified a threat, we took action along the border and elsewhere,” said Ya’alon, in possible reference to a reported Israeli airstrike on a convoy carrying advanced weapons from Syria to Hezbollah in January.
Israel has yet to officially confirm it carried out the attack, which Syria claimed targettd a chemical weapons research facility.
