The full video is available on the Arab 24 website.
The video shoot is in the same location as a March 7 video of US military vehicles which we tried unsuccessfully to geo-locate.
Arab 24 says the latest video was shot in the villages of العسلية (Alasalyeh) and دندن (Dandan, which we believe is Dandaniyah) on March 11.
The ground is wet in the latest video which is consistent with weather patterns in the area over the weekend, and with reports from Syria.
Update: W-Manbij. Still quiet on the western front. Heavy rain and lightning, makes the terrain into a gigant mudpool. Thor is angry today😂

There are new geo-location clues in the video and we’ll work on trying to pinpoint the location of the shoot.
