Part 3/8:
Keane emphasizes that Israel's actions are preemptive, aimed at ensuring that military assets do not fall into the hands of radical factions that may threaten Israeli security. The military assets in question include not only conventional forces such as tanks and artillery but also critical materials used for chemical weapon production, which Keane labels as weapons of mass destruction. The destruction of these assets reflects an effort not only to weaken Assad but also to prevent future threats from radical groups.
