Seven civilians from the same family died in an alleged Coalition airstrike on Raqqa’s Dari’eya neighbourhood.

According to Baladi, the victims died when their home was struck by the Coalition.

Shahbapress added that an unspecified number of other civilians were injured.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights, who also attributed the event to the Coalition, reported that five civilians died including one woman and two children.

Amnesty and Airwars’s joint April 2019 report “War in Raqqa: Rhetoric versus Reality” reported that seven members of the Jbein family were killed by artillery shelling while they were fleeing the house they had been sheltering in, after having been forced to leave their home, in the same area, days earlier.

One of the survivors, Hajar, daughter of Mohammed Abdul Wahab Al-Jabin, told Amnesty’s researcher that “I was staying with relatives in Damascus when I received a call that my parents, my brothers and my nieces had all been killed. My whole family, my dearest. My world collapsed.”
