Chemical weapons use in the modern Middle East began with the Yemen War of 1962-1967. Egyptian chemical attacks against hostile Yemeni tribesmen were initiated at a modest and fairly ineffective level in 1963. They became deadlier, however, as time went on and the scope of the Egyptian military presence in Yemen (later North Yemen) expanded. Had it not been for the Egyptian military defeat in the June 1967 war with Israel, chemical attacks could have become a fundamental part of Egyptian strategy for defeating the Yemenis. While the chemical attacks were not carried to their logical conclusion in Yemen, this conflict is, nevertheless, an important benchmark for understanding later activity in the Middle East regarding chemical weapons. |
