Wait, isnt the top stripe supposed to be green? Or am I misremembering?

Edit: Also, isn't it supposed to be 3 stars in the middle stripe?

yes you’re right, the new flag has a green top stripe and 3 stars

The flag pictured is the Ba'athist flag, it's been the flag of Syria for 40-ish years.

The flag you describe was the Syrian flag after independence from France, and as of two days ago, is now also the de facto flag of Syria.
