ISIL uses chemical weapons

https://www.strategypage.com/qnd/syria/20170428.aspx

April 16, 2017: In Iraq (Mosul) Iraqi troops again encountered ISIL mortar shells and rockets that had chemical warheads. About six troops fell sick after inhaling the noxious substance. Nearby U.S. and Australian commandos noted that some of the shells contained noxious substances and helped collect samples for laboratory analysis. This is not the first time for this. ISIL was again using the crude mustard gas that has been showing up a lot more since 2015. In 2016 Russia revealed that its chemical warfare experts collected mustard gas samples from a dud shell fired in September 2016 by ISIL forces in Aleppo. The Russians also found evidence of ISIL shells filled with chlorine. ISIL is believed to have used chlorine and mustard gas bombs and shells at least 60 times in Iraq and Syria since 2014.
