"the lightly armed rebels". There is above one of the flight weapons of the Syrian rebels. And notice that the entire article has no sources, she just rehashes claims by the opposition without even bothering to insert the cliche of Western dispatches from Beirut "activists said", but then she did cite the authority of one journalist: "Majed Abdul-Nour, a citizen journalist with the opposition Sham news agency..." He is a "citizen journalst"--whatever that means--as much as Liz Sly is a citizen propagandist. (Picture from As-Safir).
PS Yes, the regime (like the Syrian "revolution") is capable of committing the most heinous of crimes but I am talking her about the standard disregard of even the pretense of journalistic professionalism in Western media coverage of Syria.
