A Reuters witness in central Damascus saw air strikes also hitting the area.
Worldwide inspectors from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) who arrived in Damascus almost a week ago were still waiting early on Friday to visit the site of the suspected poison gas attack.
Anti-regime fighters and civilians are being bussed out of a northeast Damascus suburb on Saturday, after rebel forces agreed to cede the territory to Assad's forces, which are backed by Russian Federation and Iran.
Earlier this week, rebels agreed to surrender the town of Dumayr, an enclave northeast of Damascus.
The Syrian Arab News Agency said that 27 buses entered al-Rheibeh city on Saturday morning to "transport terrorists and their families from the three towns to Jarablos and Idleb".
The Syrian government is working to secure the surroundings of Damascus through evacuation deals with rebels, and the ongoing military offensive on IS militants south of the capital.
Syrian jets reportedly targeted Daesh positions in al-Hajar al-Aswad district in the capital's periphery.

Syrian regime forces Friday intensified their bombardment of the Yarmuk Palestinian refugee camp on the edge of Damascus for a second successive day in a bid to dislodge Islamic State jihadists, a monitor said.
The correspondent said the army will continue operations against terrorism until all the details of the ceasefire agreement discussed on Friday afternoon are finalized, because the Syrian state realizes that some terrorist groups could try to circumvent or obstruct some of the agreement's details.
"There are reports that large numbers of people have been displaced from Yarmouk Camp to the neighbouring area of Yalda".
Jihadist shelling of an adjoining neighbourhood injured five people, Damascus police were cited as saying early on Friday by state television.
State TV said 3,200 militants and their families were expected to leave the area in preparation for them to be transported to Idlib and Jarablus, a rebel-held territory at the border with Turkey.
The United Nations has voiced concern that such "evacuations" involve the displacement of civilians under threat of reprisals or forced conscription.
