Sysacco was taken by rebel forces in August 2012. The plant then had approximately 400 yellow steel barrels stored, each holding one ton of chlorine gas. In December 2012, rebel fighters from Al-Nusra Front took over the plant. The factory was not in normal operation in April 2013, but the rebel’s kept the generator running by supplying 200 liters (44 imp gal; 53 U.S. gal) of fuel a day.
