Syrian rebels aligned with the Free Syrian Army posted a video Tuesday showing a cannon being used against an Assad regime position.

WATCH: 

The Youtube account is associated with the al-Rahman Corps, which analysts believe is a loosely affiliated Free Syrian Army group that has received U.S. assistance in the past. The Institute for the Study of War’s Syrian Opposition guide indicates the group is known to operate in the Damascus area.

The Free Syrian Army is a generally moderate alliance of rebel groups that originally began a civil uprising against the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime. The group has avoided clashes with other rebel groups or alliances with Islamists, instead focusing on the Assad regime.

A translation of the video’s title indicates the al-Rahman Corps is shelling Assad regime forces with a cannon rigged on the back of a truck. Moments before the building is hit, the cannon ball can be seen arcing into the building before billowing smoke.
