The ministry pointed out that the source of the reports was the notorious “civil defense” group the White Helmets, which has been repeatedly accused of having ties to terrorists, as well as other groups based in the US and UK.

The White Helmets is an unarmed volunteer organization that operates in parts of rebel-controlled Syria and in Turkey. The majority of their activity in Syria consists of urban search and rescue in response to bombing: medical evacuation, evacuation of civilians from danger areas, and essential service delivery. 159 White Helmets have been killed since the organization's inception.
The organization has been accused by the Syrian government and Russian news channel Russia Today (RT) of having close ties with terrorist groups.

These are the ones who reported the latest chemical attack. They operate in rebel-controlled areas because those are the areas that are bombed.
The question is, do you believe them or Assad and Putin?
