Damascus: regime forces storm Moadamiya suburb with 60 mortar rounds, 7 barrel bombs

(Zaman Al Wasl)- Media activists of the besieged Moadamiyet al-Sham town, western Damascus, said regime forces have shelled the town with 60 mortar rounds and 7 barrel bombs on Wednesday, hours after 10 people killed in regime's sarin gas attack.

Moadamiyet al-Sham, also known as Moadamiya, has been under major attack by regime army this week after the collapse of a fragile truce with rebels and more than two years of suffocating siege.

Late on Tuesday, at least 10 people, including a 12-year-child child, have been killed in a sarin gas attack on the western neighborhoods of Moadamiya, medics said.

The town's main hospital said 10 people were killed including a 12-year-old boy due to targeting their neighborhood with two missile loaded by deadly sarin gas.

Local activists said regime's Sarin gas attack is a flagrant assault on civilians which defies all international conventions since the deadly 2013 chemical attacks.

The Bashar al-Assad regime was responsible for the sarin chemical attack at Eastern and Western Ghouta near Damascus, on Aug. 21, 2013, where more than 1500 people had been killed, including dozens from Moadamiya town.

in the next-door town of Daraya, regime helicopters have dropped 44 barrel bombs in two days with barrel's tally of 3600 in 4 years.

More than 250,000 people have been killed since Syria’s revolution erupted in March 2011, and millions more have fled their homes.
