NEWS CHANNELS USING OPPOSITION FOOTAGES WITH MISLEADING COMMENTARIES

International news channels are using footages taken by Syrian opposition news outlets as if they were massacres in the regime held areas in Aleppo 
Several news channels showed reports in both English & Arabic of causalities in regime-held areas in Aleppo as a result of artillery shelling by opposition forces. However, it's the opposite in reality. These videos are produced and broadcasted by Syrian opposition news agencies documenting rescue efforts by the Syrian civil defense on rebel-held areas of Aleppo being targeted by the regime's military forces in an attempt to destroy Aleppo's public infrastructure.  

America’s Fox News broadcasted yesterday a report in one of its news bulletin about a  mosque being shelled by Syrian rebels in a regime-held area in Aleppo, killing at least 15 people. Nevertheless, the channel used in its report footages taken by Aleppo Media Centre (opposition news website), which shows evacuation and rescue process by the Syrian Civil Defense. 
BBC Arabic also broadcasted this morning videos originally taken by AlBuraq Media Association, showing rescuing process by the Syrian Civil Defense in Aleppo following regime forces shelling on rebel-held areas of Aleppo, claiming that 44 people were killed as rebels shelled a mosque in a government-held area in Aleppo. 
"Verify" Platform would like to draw the attention of its followers to the fact that pro regime media platforms claimed that Syrian opposition shelled a mosque in a regime-held area in Aleppo, killing at least 15 people, without any substantial evidence. Until the time of this writing, no photos or videos were broadcast to prove those claims.
