Breaking: US- Led Coalition Airstrikes against ISIS Held Chemical Weapons Depot, Hundreds Killed

Global Research, April 13, 2017

According to the Syrian News Agency SANA, the US led Coalition has carried out targeted airstrikes against a chemical weapons depot in Hatla, east of Deir Ezzor. The depot is held by ISIS-Daesh terrorists:

The General Command of the Army and Armed Forces said that the aircrafts of the so-called “US-led International Alliance” on Wednesday between the hour 17:30 and 17:50 carried out an airstrike against a position of ISIS terrorists that includes a large number of foreign mercenaries in the village of Hatla to the east of Deir Ezzor, causing a white cloud that became yellow as a result of the explosion of a huge store that includes a large amount of toxic materials.

Several hundred deaths were recorded:

In a statement issued Thursday, the Army General Command stressed that the airstrike of the “US-led International Alliance” killed hundreds, including large numbers of civilians, due to the suffocation resulted from inhaling toxic substances.

Sofar, the Western media has not reported this tragic incident, the details of which remain to be fully corroborated.

The report issued by the Syrian military confirms that the ISIS-Daesh “rebels” (who are supported covertly by the Western military alliance and its Middle East allies including Saudi Arabia and Qatar) are in possession of toxic chemical weapons.

Previous media reports (CNN) confirm that they Syrian opposition rebels were trained on contract to the Pentagon by Western specialists in the use of chemical weapons. A comprehensive 2013 UN report confirms that the opposition rebels used chemical weapons against SAA soldiers and civilians.

It is worth noting that a large number of foreign mercenaries were reported in the area targeted by US-led coalition airstrikes.

The Thursday attack followed Russia’s veto on Wednesday of a U.N. Security Council resolution regarding the April 4 chemical weapons attack. The vote on the Security Council resolution drafted by Britain, France and the United States was 10 in favor, Russia and Bolivia against, with China, Kazakhstan and Ethiopia abstaining.

It is worth noting that the casualties resulting from Thursday’s airstrikes are far more serious, according to the initial Syrian government report, than those pertaining to the April 4 CW attack.

Hundreds, Including Civilians, Killed in US-Led Coalition’s Airstrike on Daesh Warehouse Containing Toxic Materials in Deir Ezzour

DAMASCUS, (ST)- Hundreds, including civilians were killed as a result of an airstrike carried out yesterday by the US-led Coalition’s warplanes against a huge Daesh warehouse that contained poisonous materials in the Syrian village of Hatleh in Deir Ezzour eastern countryside, according the General Command of the army and armed forces.

The Coalition’s raid on Daesh terror organization’s headquarter in Hatla town, where a large number of foreign mercenaries had presence, caused thick white cloud and then a yellow one as a result of the explosion of a huge warehouse that contained toxic materials, the command said in a statement on Thursday. The airstrike also caused huge fire and killed hundreds of people, including civilians, as a result of suffocation.

The command stressed that the new incident proves that the terrorists possess chemical weapons and that they are able to obtain, deliver and store such kind of weapon with the help of well-known countries in the region. It also confirms coordination between terrorist organizations and their supporters to find pretexts for carrying out chemical attacks as to blame the Syrian army, the command added.

Syria has repeatedly warned against the terrorists’ ability to possess and use chemical weapons and every time these groups use chemical weapons against Syrian civilians and army personnel the Syrian government informs the UN and the Security Council about these incidents.

The General Command reaffirmed that “it doesn’t have any kind of chemical weapons and has never used them,” warning of the danger of the terrorist groups’ persistence in using chemical weapons against civilians with a cover from the West.
