Ya’alon: Syrian forces attacked civilians with chemical weapons during truce

Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon says that despite a ceasefire having come into effect in Syria, government forces there used chemical weapons on civilians this week.

“The Syrians used military grade chemical weapons and lately have been using materials, chlorine, against civilians, including in these very days, after the supposed ceasefire, dropping barrels of chlorine on civilians,” he says, without providing further details, according to Reuters.
