The network cites "foreign reports," though no such reports appear to exist, indicating that the citation is a tactic by the network to get around Israel's military censor. Earlier this week, Haaretz reported that the Israeli military fears that amid the Syrian rebel assault and their taking over of military sites belonging to the Assad regime in the country, chemical weapons could fall into the wrong hands.

I double-checked this, and itβs real.
I also searched for the heads of a couple of major health insurance companies on Wikipedia and didnβt find entries (they might not have had them, but many top execs do).
