An airport assault ends in death for a group of rebel fighters after a tank crew clocks their position. This footage was recorded near the Deir ez-Zor Airport on July 1, 2013.

Ever seen what happens to a squad of unarmored infantry troops behind cover after a tank main-gun hits their position? This video is a pretty accurate representation. The explosion knocks the entire squad off of their feet. A majority of them are okay, but the two guys closest to the blast in between two buildings are dead right there as soon as the explosion happens.

It takes a second for the dust to settle, and the fighters appear to be screaming to each other to let each other all know that they're okay, but once everything clears it's obvious that two of them are no longer in the world of the living.
