Syrian rebels destroy an oncoming Syrian army tank with a guided anti-tank missile in footage posted to YouTube Monday.
The rebel fires and guides the TOW missile on camera right into the Syrian army tank seen in the distance. Moments later the tank bursts apart in a massive explosion, completely destroyed. (RELATED: Jihadist Was Mid-Interview When A Mortar Shell Landed Directly On Him)
The rebels immediately cheer and shout “Allahu akbar!” in celebration of the hit.
The U.S.-backed rebels are in an ongoing fight with the Bashar al-Assad regime, which has made some recent gains with Russian backing.
Bellingcat founder Eliot Higgins tweeted an abbreviated version of the video Tuesday [Warning: Graphic content].
