Am I missing something here, or didn't deserters from the Syrian army claim credit for that?

Seems not unlikely, Assad's army has a long standing issue with people realising that they might be better off without him and feeling in a position to effect some change. These are often enough career soldiers, so I don't see why they shouldn't be able to pull it off -- they have the training, the experience, and it can't be too hard to get at the equipment.
