A year later, I realized that I still hadn't posted these images.
So, the next few sets are of an ambush that the Sryian Army and Lebanese Hezbollah militiamen set up to target a large number of FSA fighters.
Eastern Ghouta, Syria, Feb. 27, 2014.
Set 1.
1. Grainy night time vid grab showing a long line of rebel forces moving along the planned ambush route.
2. Highest estimate of how many rebels were killed ranges from abt 150 to 176 men.

At night, nearly 200 fighters (mostly Nursa Front rebels) moved out on foot to relocate to an area just east of Damascus. The route they took is a narrow stretch of raised dirt and sand mostly curbed on each side by dense scrub brush.
Word of the large rebel force planning to move through this dusty stretch quickly reached opposition fighters and the Syrian Army.
Several large remote-controlled mines had planted along the pathway by the Assad forces to kick off the ambush.
Set 2.

As the line of rebel forces, walking 2 to 3 men abreast, reached a specific point the planted mines were detonated to take out the front of the rebel column, the back of it and the middle.
