Local sources in the Syrian eastern districts of Damascus have said that terrorists of the region are preparing to carry out a “chemical weapons attack” against Damascus.

The sources further said that the terrorist groups have been giving out gas masks to citizens of the eastern districts of Damascus, Al Mayadeen reported.

According to Al Mayadeen, various sources confirmed the report, saying chemical agents still exist in different areas in Syria, especially its borders.

The terrorists carry out chemical weapons attacks against civilians and then accuse the Syrian government of such attacks, the unnamed sources said.

Dozens of people, including children, were killed in the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun on 4 April, and hundreds suffered symptoms consistent with a nerve agent, after an alleged gas attack.

The United States and its allies accused the Syrian government of carrying out the attack, leading US President Donald Trump to order the launch of 59 cruise missiles at a Syrian airbase.

The Syrian government, however, denied the accusations, saying reports of a chemical attack by the government were “100% fabrication”.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said the West fabricated the events in Khan Sheikhoun “so it had an excuse to carry out missile strikes on the government's Shayrat airbase.”

Days ago Russian President Vladimir Putin said, Russia has information of a potential incident similar to the alleged chemical attack in Idlib province, possibly targeting a Damascus suburb. The goal is to discredit the government of Syrian President Assad, he added.

“We have reports from multiple sources that false flags* like this one – and I cannot call it otherwise – are being prepared in other parts of Syria, including the southern suburbs of Damascus. They plan to plant some chemical there and accuse the Syrian government of an attack,” he said at a joint press conference with Italian President Sergio Mattarella in Moscow.
