Gulf War 1991 Israel Army Chem. Warfare

Thirty years ago, Israel was faced with the threat of genocide from Iraq without provocation. That war changed the Jewish state forever.

Their goal was to force Israel into Operation Desert Storm and jeopardize the US-led coalition, which included several Arab countries.

This attempt not only failed, but has also helped the Jewish state prepare to defend itself from another country in the region that aims to destroy the State of Israel.

Watch and learn more about the history of the Gulf War and how it changed Israel forever.
