DAESH attacks Mare’a town in Aleppo province with chemical weapons

 Aleppo – Local sources from the town of Mare’a asserted that ISIS terrorists used shells containing chemical materials in their attacks on residential areas in the town on Saturday.

Activists on social media sites reported that a number of locals in Mare’a suffered from cases of asphyxiation after ISIS shelled the town with shells believed to contain toxic materials.

This isn’t the first time that ISIS employed chemical weapons, international investigators and technicians said in a report published by New York Times last Wednesday that ISIS used chemical weapons in two separate attacks on Tal Barrak and Hasaka.

A leaked CIA document published by WND.com in 2013 stated that terrorists in Syria affiliated with Al Qaeda possessed and manufactured sarin gas for the purpose of using it in attacks against civilians in Syria.

DAESH demolishes Baalshamin Temple in Palmyra

ISIS imposes strict restrictions on locals of Palmyra since June 20th, and prevents them from leaving the city after cutting off all means of communications.

Director of the Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums (DGAM) Maamoun Abdelkarim told SANA Sunday night that local sources told him that ISIS terrorists blew up Baalshamin Temple by a large amount of explosives they brought into the temple and detonated it.

The site dates back to the first century AD, and has survived numerous invaders and occupiers. It is seen as one of the most important archaeological sites in the world.

DGAM is trying to contact locals of Palmyra to get information about the destruction of the Temple which dates back to 17 AD, Abdulkarim added, denouncing ISIS’ “systematic genocide war” and mass massacres against the locals.

“ISIS is bringing in archeological thieves to destroy antiquities by excavation of antiquities, looting and selling them”, Abdul karim said.

UNESCO:  “War Crime”

Later, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) condemned the demolition of Baalshamin Temple.

Head of the UNESCO Irina Bokova said in a statement on Monday that this act is a war crime and a tragic loss for both the Syrian people and for humanity as a whole, stressing that the perpetrators of this crime must be punished.

Bokova said that ISIS is murdering people and destroying sites, but it can never silence history and will eventually fail in its attempts to erase cultures from the world’s memory.

The destruction of the temple, which is considered the second most important monuments in Palmyra, raises concerns over the fate of other sites listed on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List, and comes only a few days after the murder by beheading of former Director of Archeology in Palmyra Khaled al-Assad at the hands of ISIS.

UN Secretary General condemns ISIS terrorist acts in Palmyra

For his part, The UN Secretary-General condemned the barbaric acts of terror committed by ISIS in Syria, including the systematic destruction and plunder of the country’s cultural heritage, mainly the destruction of the ancient temple of Baalshamin.

Ban Ki-Moon is also outraged by the brutal murder of Khaled al-Assad, retired chief archaeologist of Palmyra, by the ISIS on 18 August.

The Secretary-General called on the international community to unite and act swiftly to put a stop to this terrorist acts.

He reiterated that the deliberate destruction of our common cultural heritage is a war crime, AFP quoted Ki-Moon as saying in a statement.
