Satellite imagery shows a large multistorey building to the east, as visible in the above still





Although somewhat obscured in the video by greenery, the historical satellite imagery appears to show that the design of the building matches what we see in the video









Combined with the GPS data, I think this proves a strong match to Volcano 4. What's also very interesting about this video is it appears the munition passed through the wall to the north, landing just south-east of the hole in the wall.





It's worth keeping in mind that just northwest of this position is a building that appears to be at least two storeys tall, so it's possible the munition could have deflected off the building. However, it does seem likely the rocket would have come from the northwest. I've created the following map showing the distance from the impact site, with the red line being 2km, yellow being 2.25km, and green being 2.5km.





It's worth noting the area south of the motorway running from the north to the west of the picture was the scene of Operaton al-Kabune, a government operation to secure a strip of land between Jobar and Qaboun, with the aim to encircle Jobar and Qaboun along the motorway running north to south in the above image. That operation commenced on August 20th 2013 as part of Operation Capital Shield.



A big thank you to

Following on from yesterday's post on a third possible impact location of the chemical rockets used on August 21st I've been investigating more of the GPS co-ordinates provided to me by the local who filmed the video used in this ITN reportI now believe there is enough information to locate the position of the rocket I've dubbed Volcano 4 (playlist here ). One set of GPS co-ordinates pointed to this locationAfter reviewing video footage collected for the 8-9 Volcano rockets recorded after the attack, I believe this is almost certainly the location of Volcano 4. The below clip shows a view to the west followed by a view to the east from two different videos.Firstly, the location itself. We can see to the north there's a brick wall which appears to have been pierced by the rocket, and in this image from Google Earth's historical satellite imagery we can see it's casting a shadowIn the satellite imagery it appears the building just west of the wall, on the north side, juts out to the southIn the video we can actually see it's only the top floor that juts out, while the ground floor is level with the wallIt's also noticeable that the building to the south is not parallel to the street, which can be seen on the satellite map
