So what "action" should we be "shocked" into by this story?  More of the same regime change tactics by various mercenary western interests?  Or maybe the "no fly zone" idea that worked so well in Libya and which would  risk war with Russia?  Recognizing the legitimate Government of Syria and stopping weopons support to extremist insurgents is the quickest way to end the war and the suffering of the Syrian people.  We may not like Assad but respect for international law requires that we accept it just like we have had to do with the  Trump presidency.
