Syr rev news tweeted that “a civilian was killed and four others were injured as a result of a military air strike targeting a car carrying displaced people in Al Hadaj village in the eastern suburb of Hama”.

According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, “at least 5 civilians, most of whom are from the same family, killed in Syrian-Russian alliance warplanes missiles fired on al Hadaj village in Hama governorate eastern suburbs on August 19, 2017” – however this report could be referring to event RS2394 in Hamada Omar in which a family of four or five were reported killed in a strike on their home.
