URGENT, PLEASE SHARE: #Assad uses chemical weapons on #Homs

Assad's forces are pressing their savage assault on the city of Homs, attacking the remaining 20% of the city that remains free - particularly in the old city, and districts such as Khalidya.

Today, the vicious bombardment was renewed on the city, as Hezbollah mercenaries and regime troops and militants determinedly pressed ahead with a final offensive designed to crush all remaining free Syrian opposition, armed or unarmed, in the remaining districts.

"It appears the regime wants to take Khaldiyeh (district), no matter what the price," said Tariq Badrakhan, an activist within the district. In his report about the latest, savage assault on the city, he claimed that regime forces and Hezbollah terrorists are using multiple-rocket launchers, tanks, and mortars to attack the area on three sides, in an attempt to enter the district and crush resistance there, once and for all.

Even more horrifically, the regime has clearly been using chemical weapons in the latest assault - causing horrific injuries, deaths, and wounds to anyone in their path. A series of videos of the victims has emerged: 

This videos shows horribly injured victims of chemical weapons and thermobaric bombs, in the makeshift hospital in Khalidya.
