The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has concluded that the Syrian Arab Air Force likely conducted a chemical weapons attack using chlorine gas in Kafr Zita on October 1, 2016, resulting in injuries to 35 individuals. This finding comes after an extensive investigation by the OPCW's Investigation and Identification Team. Additionally, Syria has reactivated its permanent mission to the OPCW in The Hague, with support from the UN General Assembly for continued cooperation in addressing chemical weapons use.
