Assad gathered almost all of his forces towards one particular stubborn enclave in Damascus eastern suburb called Eastern Ghouta. After 2 months of heavy scale fighting when Assad forces reached the urban parts stopped up and started bizarre negotiations and releasing constantly fake reports of meeting with rebels or rebels agreeing to relocation to be transfered to Idlib etc etc.
To the point that they were begging the rebels to be transfered with their families and light weaponry exclusive service. I also believe they paid the leaders alot of money for doing so.
There was 3 major groups in this area the two smallest accepted the deal while the largest one who are located in Douma refused. NOW here comes the fun fact and why Assad used chemical attacks.
Douma being a city with high density population and buildings was not going to be easy. Assad lost alot of manpower and hardware and as time past by the rebels were immune to airstrikes. Assad and his allies were losing manpower, hardware and most important of all alot of money. So they resorted to using Sarin gas as an option to bringing down the solid defenses of the rebels in Douma.
I for one was not surprised seeing the regime using Sarin gas because it was highly predictable. Nobody knows the type of losses Assad is taking except someone who understand military reality on the ground. Going in head first on a highly populated urban city with multiple bulidings and labyrint is not easy and especially when there are tunnels everywhere so airstrikes is not so effective.
They been trying hard to relocate the last group of the rebels who just simply refused to be relocated
