    The 7th August date I got from the subtitles (1 min, 26 seconds), but not speaking arabic it's hard to know if they accurately reflect what the speaker is saying. If so, interesting to see that the centre of Damascus is still so insecure as of just yesterday.
    The person who added the subtitles isn't the original uploader, they just translate videos.

    those things certainly are terrifying......
    As someone who's put together equivalent sized rockets for fun and stuff, I have to agree. Those things are just stupid and dangerous. Probably 50% of the videos I've seen of them launching them, something goes wrong and they spin out of control, hit the ground and detonate a few hundred feet away. Those things are filled with explosives and they have them lying in the back of a truck bed unsupported.

    Yeah, if they work as advertised. Their manufacturing process probably isn't very refined considering how many failures they've had.

    As fighting continues in and around Aleppo, press reports indicate that food and basic supplies—including cooking gas and fuel for vehicles—are being depleted in the city.

    Looks like he got hit. Before he starts shooting, there's no firing in the background, then when he falls, you can hear that the firing is going on in the distance down the street, after his rifle stops firing.
