#1 This kind of heavy handed killing may well be the result of Hezbollah reinforcing the Assad forces.

#2 The photos I've seen involve mostly men of military age lying wounded and burka-clad women standing around. It's possible that the Alawite infantry are advancing into the city and calling for artillery strikes or tank fire against any significant resistance.

#3 The destruction in the photos generally tends to be composed of tight shots of a single building rather than wide angle shots of city blocks of collapsed buildings.
