Tel Aviv, 27 May - The Israeli armed forces finally decided to disclose to the Israeli Medical Association details about a secret experiment conducted on 800 soldiers with an anthrax vaccine since 1999. The decision to reveal facts and circumstances of the experimental vaccine had become inevitable after an Israeli TV channel aired the stories of several dozens of Israeli veterans suffering from medium to serious impairments of their health condition after they had been exposed to an anthrax vaccine which the Israeli armed forces wanted to develop in competition with already existing US vaccines.
Since the Israeli army later declined any responsibility for treatment of symptoms the former soldiers attributed to their particpation in the anthrax vaccine experiment, the patients decided to turn to the press as their last resort to force the army to take responsibility for their medical treatment.
