Sources on the ground and rescuers from Syrian Civil Protection, a volunteer group of rescuers also known as the White Helmets, said that on Friday due to the air bombing of the napalm gas, many people in the city of Arben have been burned alive.

“An air strike hit the basements of an underground section last night where there were between 117 and 125 people, most of them women and children,” said an activist from eastern Guta, Izhet Muslims.

Another activist, Zaher Hassoun, confirmed that the Syrian government has issued napalm gas bombs, a flammable liquid that causes severe burns.
