They’re obviously trying to goad us into attacking Assad.

Syrian rebels quoted by Al Arabyia claim that Syrian President Bashar Assad has used chemical weapons once again – in Damascus and in the city of Saraqeb in the district of Idlib.

According to the report, dozens of people suffered respiration problems after the Syrian army bombarded the Al Asali district in Damascus with chemically laced mortars. There were no further reports regarding the condition of the wounded.

In another, second attack, rebels reported being hit by phosphorous laced mortars in residential areas in which fighting is currently being conducted.

In the meantime, rebels reported that they had managed to kill seven Hezbollah fighters trying to make their way to Homs to partake in the fights currently underway there. They additionally reported killing four Iranians after destroying the Syrian government car they were traveling in.

Saturday’s reports join the long list of alleged cases of chemical weapons use on the part of Assad’s regime.
