Airwars assessment
A man named as Mohammad Fayez Bakour from Dabaa, Qusair in Homs was reported killed in a Coalition or US strike – though his status remains unclear.
The VDC described Bakour as a civilian, and said he died in a Coalition strike. We Are Qusair Martyrs also noted “we announce the martyrdom of Mohammad Fayyez Al Bakkour [Abu Abd al Rahman] from al Qusair – martyred today 11/2/2017 may God receive him.”
However a note posted on his martyr’s page reads “we consider him martyred on 20/1/2017 [January 20th] in a raid by the crusader coalition on a Fatah al Sham Front camp.” His status is therefore unclear.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
The victims were named as:

Attached to this civilian harm incident is a provisional reconciliation of the Pentagon's declassified assessment of this civilian harm allegation, based on matching date and locational information.
The declassified documents were obtained by Azmat Khan and the New York Times through Freedom of Information requests and lawsuits filed since March 2017, and are included alongside the corresponding press release published by the Pentagon. Airwars is currently analysing the contents of each file, and will update our own assessments accordingly.
