As someone who worked on crisis mapping stuff, how do they know this is ground truth? We had similar problems in Haiti and elsewhere with GIS ops for crisis operations, and with a lot less political value to demarcation of battle front lines and region ownership.
I guess I will have to re-read and check out the maps on /r/syriancivilwar other responders mention.
