During the evening of October 14, 2024, alleged U.S. shelling in the north of Marat Town in Deir Ezzor, Syria injured at least six civilians, including a woman.

The x/Twitter account of @baznewz reported that a number of civilians were injured by a shell fired by U.S. forces that were stationed in the Conoco gas field. The source reported that “A woman was injured in her foot, while another young man was injured by shrapnel in his eye, which necessitated providing first aid to the injured.”

@baznewz reported the names of the injured as Raed Muhammad al-Darzi, Khalaf Hussein al-Karir’s wife, Khalaf Hussein al-Karir’s son, and Muhammad Khanjar al-Khayyat’s son. A Facebook post from Bissam FM identified Khalaf Hussein Al-Karir’s injured son’s name as Mahmoud Khalaf Hussein al-Karir and Muhammad Khanjar al-Khayyat’s injured son’s name as Ahmed Muhammad Khanjar al-Khayyat, and added Khalaf Hussein al-Karir and Qais Raed al-Darzi’s name to the list of those injured, in addition to specifying that three of the six were seriously injured.

The source Deer al zur, Al Sawar and Morasal also provide the same list of injured and shared a photo of a teenager or young man with injuries to one eye and blood on the face.

A Facebook post from Bassam Al Barrak quoted a medical source from al-Assad Hospital in Deir Ezzor as saying that the woman was in critical condition and “there is news that her leg was amputated, and three firefighters are in stable condition”. There was no additional clarification or mention of firefighters injured found in additional sources.

Where sources identified a belligerent, all sources attribute the strikes to the U.S. military.
