HAMA, SYRIA (6:20 P.M.) – The jihadist rebels attacking the northern Hama village of Karah on Wednesday reportedly used chlorine gas against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), causing several injuries in the process.
According to local reports, Jund Al-Aqsa (Syrian Al-Qaeda group) and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) used chlorine gas against the Syrian Arab Army during their ongoing assault at Karah today.
No fatalities have been reported as a result of the gas attack; however, 18 soldiers were hospitalised due to exposure to this chemical agent.
Today’s attack by the rebels is the first reported use of chlorine gas during the northern Hama offensive.
