(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least 100 civilians, including two children, were killed in a toxic gas attack by the Syrian regime early Tuesday that released "toxic gas" on a town in northwest Idlib province, activists said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said those killed in the town of Khan Sheikhoun, in the central province of Idlib, had died from suffocation and the effects of the gas.
The Britain-based monitoring group was unable to confirm the nature of the substance, however.
Another toxic gas attack reported Monday when regime helicopters dropped two containers of Chlorine gas on al-Hubait town in northern Idlib province, causing 20 breathing difficulties, local activists said.
The regime warplanes have conducted at least 26 raids on al-Hubait and neighboring towns south of Idlib that overlook on Ghab Plain in the province of Hama. Two children from the same family were killed as 20 more, mostly women and children, were affected by the Chlorine gas.
Russian warplanes have also targeted most of the towns of the southern countryside of Idlib.
Near the capital, Syrian regime airstrikes on the rebel-held city of Douma killed at least 21 people, including three children, and a family of 7 members, according to the local reporter.
The regime rocked Douma with 6 vacuum missiles as death toll is expected to rise, Mahmoud Adam, Civil Defense worker told Zaman al-Wasl. (With AFP)
