ISIL carries out chemical attack in northern Syria

The Daesh Takfiri terrorists have carried out a chemical attack on residential areas in northern Syria.

Sources in the northwestern city of Aleppo said on Tuesday that the terrorists fired rounds of mustard gas mortars on a government-controlled neighborhood earlier in the day. They said at least 20 people were wounded in the assault.

This was not the first time Daesh used chemicals in its attacks on Aleppo, the sources said, adding that many civilians have suffered from similar poisonous assaults over the past weeks.

Aleppo has become the scene of fierce clashes between foreign-backed militants and government forces over the past few months. 

Daesh and other terrorists have a history of carrying out chemical attacks on civilians and government forces in Iraq and Syria.

On April 7, nearly two dozen people were killed and over 100 others injured in a chemical attack by Daesh against members of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) in Aleppo.
