Orient News correspondent Hadi al-Munajed reported “Assad terrorists targeted Jobar neighborhood from Ein Terma with poisonous chlorine gas.”

“A number of fighters were transported to the nearest medical points after suffering from suffocation,” al-Munajed added.

“In the same time, Iranian-led Shiite militias attempted to storm into the area, backed by tanks and military mechanisms,” he said.

Assad terrorists had targeted last Saturday Zamalka and Ein Terma in eastern Gouta with chlorine gas, injuring several opposition fighters, of whom many suffered from suffocation.

Rahman Corps spokesperson told Orient Net the targeting of Ein Terma with chlorine gas comes in retaliation for the losses suffered by Assad terrorists after opposition fighters foiled their attempts of storming into the towns of Zamalka and Ein Terma and besieging Jobar neighborhood, east of the capital Damascus.
