Syria has at least 100 long-range ballistic nerve-gas missiles aimed at central Israel, Jane's Foreign
Affairs reported this week.

A senior Israeli defense source told Foreign Affairs that the missiles are equipped with VX, the most lethal
nerve gas, and that the Syrians have now achieved their aim of balancing Israel's nuclear advantage.

Meanwhile, a senior U.S. official told Prime Minister Ariel Sharon that Syria today is incapable of stopping
the activities of terror organizations operating in south Lebanon or the flow of money and military supplies
from Iran to the area, Israel Radio reported Thursday morning.

The same source said that the U.S. has detected that Syrian President Bashar Assad is experiencing
difficulty in controlling the advisors of his late father, former president Hafez Assad.
