According the the following article from foxnews.com, Israel has put their military on standby in preparation for possible action to take out Syria's chemical weapons. As the Assad's regime in Syria continues to deteriorate, it appears more and more likely that Israel will act to neutralize the country's chemical weapons before they fall into the hands of Hezbollah or other terrorist organizations that would seek to use them against Israel.
In any action involving Syria it is important to keep in mind the prophecy of Isaiah 17 that says Damascus will be destroyed. Many prophetic scholars believe that the fulfillment of this prophecy will accelerate the prophetic timeline.

Syria's chemical weapons
In a report from Fox News the U.S. is consulting with Israel about taking out Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons. This comes on the heels of reports that Assad's regime may be in its last days.
According to the report a U.S. representative is cool to the idea as of now about Israel taking action due to the fact that it could allow Assad to drum up support on an anti-Israel platform.
If these talks progress and the point is reached where the U.S does ask Israel to take out the stockpile, then the U.S had better be prepared to support Israel in whatever way necessary to defend themselves against any Iranian threat.
Such an attack on Syria by Israel will have wide ranging effects in the Middle East. It could lead to the eventual destruction of Damascus (see Is. 17:1-2), or a coalition of nations joining together to attack Israel (see Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38-39).
Couple this news with the Iranian attack on Israeli's in Bulgaria, and we could be entering a period of time of heightened tensions and heightened likelihood of violence involving Israel and her enemies in the Middle East.
