GoPro footage released by the Syrian non-profit origination known as The White Helmets captures the moment a falling Syrian regime munition almost killed a vehicle full of aid-workers in Jisr al-Shughur.

The White Helmets are also commonly referred to as the Syria Civil Defense group. There was initially some controversy with the group in the earlier stages of the war with the organization allegedly taking sides with opposition forces and carrying weapons, but those claims were largely proven to be false as no actual evidence of this ever turned up. The disinformation campaign stemmed dominantly from the Assad regime and Russian information warfare units claiming that members of the organization were linked to al-Qaeda members, but again no actual evidence of this was found after an investigation into the matter.
