Syrian rebels: Please meet the "artillery of hell"

 
This shell has been lately widely used by Syrian rebels and is nicknamed midfa` jahannam (the latter word is an old Ethiopic word which means hell and appears in the Qur'an).  It is basically another version of the regime's barrel bomb but has a gas canister (which can be filled with explosives).  This shell I am told has a terrible accuracy and falls in a quarter--as far as pinpointing is concerned.  Has there been one article in the Western press about them?
