Des morts et des blessés dans une attaque aux roquettes contenant du gaz toxique à Alep
Comment Originally, they assaulted Syria accusing her of having and using toxic-chlorine gas weapons. Later they found out that, by Russian intervention, the toxic gas weapons were taken out of the country and destroyed, if there were any at all!...Now, the US Corporation Handlers, through DAESH etal, attack the Syrian population with them!Unfair!
Handlers must know and comprehend that: We Do Not Approve! We Do Not Agree! We Do Not Consent! Καθόλου!!! In Fact , πιό καθόλου ΔΕΝ Γίνεται! μ.λ.π.
Au moins sept civils sont morts
et des dizaines d'autres ont été blessés dans une attaque terroriste aux
roquettes contre des quartiers dans la ville d’Alep. Les assaillants
auraient également fait usage d'armes toxiques, selon les sources
médicales.
L'agence gouvernementale Sana a
indiqué que des terroristes avaient tiré des roquettes armées de gaz
toxique sur le vieux quartier de la ville d'Alep, détenu par les forces
gouvernementales, tuant cinq personnes et causant des difficultés
respiratoires à huit autres. Les rebelles ont nié avoir utilisé
des armes chimiques.
Des groupes terroristes ont également tiré
des roquettes sur les quartiers de Hamadaniya et de Salaheddine faisant
deux morts et des dizaines de blessés.
Le Centre russe pour
la réconciliation des parties belligérantes en Syrie ont annoncé via un
communiqué paru mardi soir que des terroristes de l'Etat Islamique ainsi
que du Front al-Nosra continuaient à bombarder certains quartiers à
Alep et à Damas.
Les attaques interviennent dans un contexte
difficile de l'opération humanitaire menée à Alep par les forces
gouvernementales syrienne avec l'aide des forces russes.
Ailleurs en Syrie
Un
porte-parole de la défense civile en Syrie a déclaré que 33 personnes,
principalement des femmes et des enfants, avaient été empoisonnées à une
substance chimique qu'elle soupçonne être du chlore à Saraqeb, dans la
province d'Idlib à 50 kilomètres d'Alep.
«Des
barils de taille moyenne contenant du gaz toxique, dont la Défense
civile syrienne n'a pas été en mesure de déterminer le type, ont été
largués [de l'hélicoptère]», a déclaré le porte-parole de la Défense
civile.
Le
groupe de secouristes, qui se décrit comme un groupe bénévole neutre de
recherche et de sauvetage, a posté une vidéo sur Youtube montrant un
certain nombre d'hommes luttant pour respirer tandis que des membres de
la défense civile tiennent des masques à oxygène sur leur visage.
L'opposition
de la Coalition nationale syrienne (SNC) a accusé le gouvernement du
président Bachar el-Assad d'être derrière l'attaque, ce que le président
syrien a démenti, rappelant que l'armée syrienne n'utilisait pas
d'armes chimiques.
Le porte-parole de la Défense civile a
également signalé qu'il s'agissait de la deuxième fois que la ville de
Saraqeb était touchée par un gaz toxique, ajoutant que neuf cas
similaires présumés avaient été recensés dans la province d'Idlib.
Le
23 juin dernier, les combattants de Daesh ont
également bombardé l’armée syrienne dans la province de Raqqa avec des
bombes au gaz, selon la chaîne libanaise Al Mayadeen.
Fin 2015,
l'Organisation pour l'interdiction des armes chimiques a confirmé que la
moutarde de soufre, communément connu sous le nom de «gaz moutarde»,
avait été utilisée pour la première fois dans le conflit, sans être en
mesure de confirmer l'identité du responsable de l'attaque.
Civilians killed as terrorists shell Aleppo, use toxic gas – Syrian officials
Victims in Saraqeb, Idlib province, have breathing problems, and all are coughing and have bloodshot eyes, say doctors
At least seven civilians died and 25 more were injured as
terrorists fired shells, some containing toxic gas, at Aleppo, local
health officials said as cited by Syria’s official SANA news agency. The
shelling occurred amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis in the city.
A terrorist attack on the Old City of Aleppo on Tuesday with “shells containing toxic gas”
led to the death of five and suffocation of eight more civilians, the
outlet quoted the city’s health director, Mohamad Hazouri, as saying.
A
local police source told SANA that terrorist groups fired rocket shells
on the al-Hamadaniyeh neighborhood, injuring six. They also targeted
the Salah-Eddin neighborhood, killing two and injuring 11 more.
The Russian Reconciliation Centre in Syria said on Tuesday
evening in a statement that Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and
Al-Nusra Front terrorists were continuing to shell residential areas in
Aleppo and Damascus. “During the day in the province of
Aleppo, terrorists fired mortars at the town of Ansar and two heights in
the surrounding area, [and the] neighborhoods [of] Hai al-Ansari,
Leramon, al- Khalidia and a shopping center "Castello" in the city of
Aleppo were also targeted,” the statement reads.
The violence comes amid a dire humanitarian crisis in Aleppo which “is on the verge of running out of food and other essential supplies,” a recent statement by Amnesty International said.
Last week the Russian defense minister announced that “safe passages” would be created to let civilians flee the battle zone. Opposition fighters willing to “lay down arms” were also promised amnesty by Syrian government forces.
On
Tuesday the Russian Center for Reconciliation in Syria dispatched a
convoy containing 18 tons of aid to Aleppo from the Russian Khmeimim air
base. "Servicemen of the Russian center for Syrian
reconciliation sent food and essentials in a humanitarian convoy to
temporary storage warehouses in Aleppo," the statement said. The goods included personal hygiene equipment and medicine to be utilized by the ill or wounded.

On
Monday a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter was downed while coming back
from a humanitarian aid mission to Aleppo. The incident happened as the
chopper was flying over the neighboring Idlib province. Three crew
members and two officers onboard died.
General Sergey Rudskoy,
chief of the main operations department of the Russian General Staff
said that terrorists from Al-Nusra Front but also forces seen as “moderate opposition” by Washington operate in the area.
Earlier
on Tuesday, media reports suggested that toxic gas had been dispersed
in the area where a Russian helicopter was shot down in Syria. Kremlin
has said that it has no information on the issue adding that it’s not
always clear what such claims are based on. The UN also said that it
can’t confirm these reports.
Dozens ill after suspected chlorine attack in Syria
Victims in Saraqeb, Idlib province, have breathing problems, and all are coughing and have bloodshot eyes, say doctors
More than two dozen people have been injured in a suspected chemical attack on a town in northern Syria, a doctor who treated the victims and aid workers said.
The attack, using a gas cylinder laced with chlorine, targeted the
town of Saraqeb in Idlib province, which is under opposition control,
and near where a Russian helicopter was shot down on Monday.
It came almost exactly a year after the UN security council adopted a resolution that set a 12 month-deadline to identify the perpetrators of chlorine attacks in Syria. The deadline expires next week.
Ibrahim al-Assaad, a doctor who treated the victims, said none of the
29 injured he saw exhibited physical wounds. “All of them had breathing
and lung problems, spanning mild, moderate and severe symptoms, while
coughing and having bloodshot eyes,” he said. “They smelled of chlorine,
and the civil defence workers who rescued them said the site of the
attack also smelled strongly of chlorine.”
“It is impossible to get used to this pain we see,” he added. “Impossible.”
The suspected chemical attack occurred against a backdrop of
escalating warfare across Syria and particularly in the neighbouring
province of Aleppo, where rebels have launched a wide-ranging offensive
to break a weeks-long siege on the opposition-held east of the city.

it had transferred at least 30 victims with breathing problems to a
hospital after what they described as an attack using a toxic gas that
smelled like chlorine. The organisation published images and videos of
the victims of the alleged attack, which it described as being intended
to “spread fear and panic among civilians”. Local
people said a helicopter dropped cylinders from the sky on to the town –
an approach that would fit the modus operandi of previous air raids
that used chlorine and were blamed on the regime of Bashar al-Assad.Residents of Saraqeb said they heard the helicopter at 11.25pm on
Monday, followed by the impact of two cylinders that caused muted
explosions.Much of Assad’s chemical weapons programme was dismantled under an
agreement brokered in 2013 between the US and Russia, after the Obama
administration threatened military strikes in retaliation for a sarin gas attack by on the suburbs of Damascus.
Assad’s government was blamed for the attack, which killed 1,400 people
and sparked worldwide condemnation, but he denied responsibility.
But chlorine is not banned under the terms of the treaty on the
prohibition of chemical weapons, as it also has domestic and industrial
uses such as water purification.Last year, medical workers said
they had documented as many as 35 attacks that deployed chlorine
between mid-March and May alone in Idlib, causing more than 1,000
injuries and nine deaths, including wounding civil defence workers.Assaad, the Saraqeb doctor, said recent airstrikes in the vicinity of
his hospital had destroyed an extension built by aid groups that
provided first aid treatment to chemical attack victims, disinfecting
them before they entered the main hospital structure.“We used to have a sort of ‘chemical tent’ to separate the victims of
chemical attacks and purify them before taking them to the hospital,”
he said. “But there were a lot of bombings and all the buildings around
the hospital are either destroyed or damaged, and the tent is gone as
well.”Last week, the town’s local council said its blood bank and a first
aid centre were both destroyed in airstrikes, the latest in what aid
groups say is a systematic campaign against medical facilities.On Monday, the Russian defence ministry said a helicopter carrying
five service members was shot down near Saraqeb, hours before the
suspected chlorine attack. The entire crew were killed, in what was the
single deadliest incident for Moscow’s troops since they intervened to
shore up the Assad regime last October.
