From Basim: "On Wednesday, the pro-opposition Syria Media Office said Zabadani had been struck by 1,100 barrel bombs and 600 rockets as well as thousands of artillery rounds in the course of the regime offensive. It also alleged that napalm-filled rockets had been used against the rebels in Zabadani. The sound of exploding barrel bombs and rocket strikes has reverberated across Lebanon’s adjacent Bekaa Valley.
But the rebels are putting up a stiff resistance, using tunnels and bunkers to evade bombardments and snipers, according to rebel sources and diplomats in Beirut. “They withdraw from an area, Hezbollah moves in, then they use attack tunnels to come out behind Hezbollah’s lines and attack them in the rear,” says a European diplomat in Beirut with good access to Syrian rebel factions." The writings of this guy should be taught in journalism schools in a course titled: How to avoid being a lousy foreign correspondent.
