(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least 5 people killed in barrel bomb attacks on Moadamiyet al-Sham town west of the capital, local activists said Saturday.
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 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, Abdullah Abu Salmo, senior commander of al-Islam Martyrs brigade, has been killed in the ongoing clashes with Syrian regime forces, activists said.
Daraya's rebels have thwarted many intrusion attempts by Bashar al-Assad's forces, killing at least 150 troops since early November, according to the local activists and the town's media center.
Eastern and Western Ghouta suburbs have been under siege for years and have been the target of some of the most intensive raids on civilians living in the once heavily populated area.
More than 260,000 people have been killed since Syria’s revolution erupted in March 2011, and millions more have fled their homes.
