The rebels mostly, but also the army, are more and more using ATGM-s as guided missiles against infantry in small groups in montainous terrain, or like here in a truck.
Seems waiste of meens, but since having a lot of them, and not considering costs, they are repeating it with some success.

TEHRAN (FNA)- The Syrian Army backed by Hezbollah and National Defense
Forces (NDF) seized back control of two strategic towns of al-Zina and

member and pulled the remaining pockets of their forced from Hosh
al-Khatib," the sources said, adding, "Recapture of Hosh al-Khatib
will put terrorist groups in Deir al-Assafir under more pressure."

Central Syria with the same name, therefore, the government forces

the region which can be considered as a Central command in

surroundings, scoring their second groundbreaking victory after

days earlier.

Ghouta on November 10, and brought the base under full control two
days later.

US Air Force drops “leave now” leaflets over Raqqa as Kurdish forces prepare to attack
By Leith Fadel -
21/05/2016
The U.S. Air Force dropped thousands of leaflets over the provincial capital of Al-Raqqa on Friday, ahead of the long anticipated offensive by the Kurdish-backed “Syrian Democratic Forces” (SDF).
According to a Syrian government source, the leaflets dropped by the U.S. Air Force advised the civilians of Raqqa City to leave the area before the coming offensive by the Syrian Democratic Forces. On Thursday, a large convoy from the Syrian Democratic Forces made its way to the northern countryside of Al-Raqqa, where they met up with their comrades that are preparing to attack the provincial capital.
This latest offensive is going to be conducted under the supervision of the U.S. military advisers; it is likely going to be a long campaign against the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS).
