“Intelligence circles in Washington believe that Israel amassed a stockpile of chemical and biological weapons decades ago to complement its alleged nuclear arsenal, Foreign Policy reported Monday on its website. Information about Israel’s chemical weapons production appears in a secret 1983 CIA intelligence estimate obtained by Foreign Policy. American spy satellites in 1982 uncovered ‘a probable CW (chemical weapon) nerve agent production facility and a storage facility… at the Dimona Sensitive Storage Area in the Negev Desert,’ the CIA document reported. In 1992, the Israeli government signed but never ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention, which bans such weapons.”
