When I saw pictures of babies suffocating from a chemical attack in Syria, I was shocked and outraged,” Netanyahu stated on hearing the news of a deathly chemical-weapons attack on civilians.
More than 60 people were killed in an apparent chemical weapons strike by Syrian or Russian army jets on Tuesday in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib, according to British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
The Abu Dhabi-based Sky News Arabia said 67 civilians were killed and at least 200 were injured in the airstrike, which released “toxic gas.”
The Syrian government did not comment, though it has previously rejected accusations that it practices chemical warfare.
SOHR reported that the attack caused many people to either choke or faint, with some foaming at the mouth. Photographs posted on social media showed rescue workers hosing down almost-naked children, who were writhing in pain on the floor.
A British doctor at the scene wrote in a Twitter post that sarin gas was released in the attack. Many Syrian opposition groups are calling on the United Nations to investigate.
The UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, denounced the UN several weeks ago for failing to end the “senseless carnage” in Syria. The lack of UN action is primarily due to a stark divide between UN Security Council members.
“When I saw pictures of babies suffocating from a chemical attack in Syria, I was shocked and outraged,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, addressing the state memorial ceremony Tuesday for late President Chaim Herzog at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, said in a statement
“There’s no, none, no excuse whatsoever for the deliberate attacks on civilians and on children, especially with cruel and outlawed chemical weapons. I call on the international community to fulfill its obligation from 2013 to fully and finally remove these horrible weapons from Syria.”

当我看到在叙利亚遭到化学袭击窒息的婴儿的照片时，我感到震惊和愤慨，“内塔尼亚胡听到有关对平民的化武武器袭击事件的消息。
根据英国叙利亚人权观察站（SOHR）的报道，星期二叙利亚西北部的伊德利卜省，有60多人遇难。
阿布扎比的“天空新闻”阿拉伯说，有67名平民遇难，至少有200人在空袭中受伤，释放出“有毒气体”。
叙利亚政府并没有发表评论，尽管以前曾经拒绝过这样的指控：它实行化学战。
SOHR报道说，这次袭击造成许多人窒息或微弱，嘴里有些起泡。 在社交媒体上刊登的照片显示，救援人员正在打扫几乎赤身裸体的孩子，他们在地板上痛苦地扭动着。
现场的英国医生在Twitter的一篇帖子中写道：沙林天然气在袭击中被释放。 许多叙利亚反对派团体呼吁联合国进行调查。
联合国人权事务高级专员扎伊德·拉哈德·侯赛因几周前谴责联合国未能在叙利亚结束“无谓的屠杀”。 联合国的行动缺乏主要是由于联合国安理会成员之间的鸿沟。
“当我看到在叙利亚发生化学袭击窒息的婴儿的照片时，我感到震惊和愤慨，”本杰明·内塔尼亚胡总理周二在耶路撒冷赫尔茨勒山的已故总统查赫·赫尔佐格在国家纪念仪式上发表了一个声明
“对于蓄意攻击平民和儿童，特别是残酷和非法的化学武器，没有任何借口，也没有任何借口。 我呼吁国际社会履行其从2013年开始的义务，全面彻底地从叙利亚中清除这些可怕的武器。“
