The Violations Documentation Center named one child, Isra Rabei Yehya, age 16, as killed in an alleged Russian airstrike on Talbiseh.

Talbisa posted a video depicting her funeral, but did not say who was responsible, with the speaker in the video referring only to “manic bombing by warplanes“.

The Damascus Center for Human Rights Studies listed Isra as a victim, as well as a man named Ahmed Kurdi. The Center reported that both were killed by “indiscriminate shelling” from Russian planes.
