Zionist regime's military officials have said a ISIL affiliate operating near the Syrian border with occupied Palestinian territories has obtained chemical weapons, but does not threaten Tel Aviv.
Israeli regime’s Channel 10 said the officials feared that the outfit calling itself Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade may be planning to test the weapons.
“The group was not currently concerned with Israel and was not directing offensive efforts against it, being preoccupied with fighting other groups in the Syrian civil war,” the television said.
“Any chemical weaponry in their hands was thus not considered an immediate threat to Israelis (Zionists),” it added.
ISIL terrorists reportedly carried out a chemical attack on a Syrian military airport in Dayr al-Zawr earlier this month.
In March, local Iraqi governor Najmuddin Kareem also told Reuters that the group had used “poisonous substances” during an attack on the village of Taza in northern Iraq.
