Mine flies straight into the camera. The offensive by Syrian army on positions of terrorists.
Quote:
The video purports to show footage taken in Jobar, an eastern suburb of the capital, Damascus. The Syrian government and rebels have been fighting over Jobar for about two years; the video shows explosions and tanks firing in the middle of bombed-out streets. It is a surreal and hellish scene.
It's not clear who shot all of the video's footage, and the soundtrack of video game–style music definitely raises appropriate skepticism about its authenticity. But Eliot Higgins, founder of the investigative journalism outlet Bellingcat and an expert on scrutinizing footage from Syria, thinks the video is credible.
"It certainly looks like Jobar," Higgins wrote via email. "I've seen similar quality drone footage from elsewhere; looks like they've done a bit of post production with the colouring to make it look nicer."
If the video is authentic, it goes to show just how utterly devastated parts of Syria have been by the war. According to Syria Deeply, Jobar has been almost entirely depopulated by the past two years of intense fighting.
