Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSyrian warplanes attack rebel-held areas in northern Syria for the first time in weeks, as Syrian officials say more than 100 people were treated at hospitals following a suspected poison gas attack by rebels in the northern city of Aleppo.
The latest wave of shelling and airstrikes in northern Syria is the most serious violation of a truce reached by Russia and Turkey that brought relative calm to the country’s north for the past two months. The rebels, who have denied carrying out any chemical attacks, accuse the government of trying to undermine the cease-fire.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Thiqa News Agency, an activist collective, say government warplanes pounded rebel-held areas west and south of Aleppo city.
