Summary: One possible civilian was reported killed and several others injured in alleged Russian airstrikes on Mare’ in the northern countryside of Aleppo, according to multiple sources.
The Shaam News Network reported that Russian planes carried out raids on various areas, in particular the towns of Mare’, Tal Rifa’at, Izaz, Mangh and Deir Jamal, leading to the death of one civilian and injury of several others.
According to the White Helmets, there were three raids by “warplanes” (they did not state who they belonged to) on Mare’, resulting in deaths and injuries, although precise casualty figures were not given.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that warplanes “believed to be Russian” carried out several airstrikes on areas in the towns of Mare’, Tal Rifa’at and Mangh, leading to the death of at least one person in Mare’ and injury of several others, in addition to damage  of civilian property.
One victim Alae Abdel Al Khateeb was named by the Violations Documentation Center (pictured above). However, an image of Mr al Khateeb carrying a gun (below) – and an image of his body held by a person in military fatigues – suggest he may have been linked to rebels in Mare’.

January 3rd 2016: (R287) الشيخ مسكين‎ Sheikh Miskeen, Dara’a governorate, Syria
Summary: A woman and man were killed in Sheikh Miskeen according to local sources – though it is not clear whether regime air or ground forces, strikes by Russian warplanes, or both were responsible for the deaths.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights produced two reports on the incident. The first report said that Russian warplanes carried out 12 strikes on Sheikh Miskeen amid clashes between regime forces and rebels, and that the corpse of an old woman was found “around the town” with activists accusing the regime of killing her. But according to a second report a woman from Sheikh Miskeen died from injuries sustained when warplanes “believed to be Russian” carried out several raids on the town.
The VDC also lists Mohammad Ramadan as having died in the vicinity “Due to Russian air forces shelling.” And al Jazeera reported that “a woman and a child were seriously injured.” The VDC also later listed Basemah Fayez Muneif from the town as having died in al Ramth hospital in Jordan as a result of injuries sustained in regime shelling on January 3rd – which may match this incident.

Summary: Up to 12 civilians including three to four children and two women were killed and dozens more injured in alleged airstrikes and an artillery bombardment on Zamalka, according to multiple sources – though reports are conflicted as to whether Russian or Assad regime forces were responsible for the deaths.
Shaam News initially reported that four non-combatants were killed and 20 injured – mostly women and children – in an alleged Russian airstrike. They said the aircraft targeted different district of Zamalka with vacuum missiles, leading to widespread destruction of civilian property, and added that the aerial bombardment was followed by heavy artillery shelling. A subsequent report stated that the number killed had risen to more than seven.
The White Helmets put the initial number killed at seven (but said it was likely to rise) including two children with dozens wounded. They did not say who was responsible, referring to “air raids by warplanes and artillery, heavy mortars and field artillery land – surface missiles in conjunction with the surveillance planes circling the skies.” The White Helmets added that two ambulances were hit following the bombing and that two of their own members were injured.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said four children and two women were killed – with tens of other injured (again, mostly women and children). It produced two reports. The first blamed the regime for the “aerial bombardment and shelling”, but the second said Russian warplanes killed six, including three children, and wounded dozens more.
But the Syrian Network for Human Rights said Assad regime warplanes had fired several missiles near two White Helmets ambulances.
10 victims (including three children) were named by the Violations Documentation Center as:
Abd al-Rahman Gazal – adult, male
Mohammad Saleh al-Goush – adult, male
Bilal Shams – adult, male
Hasan Anwar Zaino aka Abu Isshak – adult, male, White Helmet volunteer

Summary: Twelve civilians were killed including two to three women and two to four children and  as many as 85 injured in airstrikes on Arbeen, according to multiple sources – although reports were conflicted as to whether Russian or Assad regime forces were responsible.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that 18 non-combatants died including women and children – with tens injured – in regime airstrikes and shelling in Eastern Ghouta. Among the casualties were four children and two women “
killed in the aerial bombardment and shelling by the regime forces which targeted cities of Arbin and Zamalka.”
However, a subsequent SOHR report blamed “warplanes believed to be Russian“, adding that they killed at least 10 people, including two women in “intense bombing“.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights said regime shelling claimed the lives of at least 10 civilians, including one child and two women, adding that “even the rescue and aid teams were targeted with a Russian raid“. According to Shaam News Network, however, Russian warplanes killed 12 and injured more than 80.
The White Helmets published several reports on the incident but referred only to “warplanes” carrying out up to 13 raids with vacuum missiles which left 12 dead and up to 85 injured, including women and children, but said that the number of dead was likely to rise due to the severity of injuries. They added that there had been great destruction of civilian neighbourhoods.

SNN concluded their report by saying “the town of Hazarma is one of the most crowded places, after many families flocked to the town to escape the fighting in Al Marj region and is home to a lot of families displaced from other areas in the eastern Ghouta.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Douma Revolution however, regime warplanes killed three civilians (one a female child) when they bombed areas of Hazarma.

Summary: Between 52 and 96 civilians including three women and one child were killed and more than 200 injured in Russian airstrikes on Maarat al Numan, according to multiple sources.
The Shaam News Network initially reported that more than 20 civilians were killed and dozens wounded (mostly women and children) when Russian warplanes struck different districts of the city with “highly explosive missiles“, targeting civilian homes, a popular market place and the Justice Palace. The death toll climbed in subsequent reports, finally reaching over 90 with more than 200 wounded “thronging field hospitals in the region“. They stated that body parts were scattered all over the area.
Activists told SNN that Russian aircraft also targeted a courthouse and prison belonging to the Al-Nusra Front, resulting in massive destruction and the deaths of all who were at the site or around it.
They said that the majority of those killed were prisoners who were being held on multiple charges including belonging to the FSA. A medical source added that masked members of the Al-Nusra Front raided a field hospital in the region to arrest some of the injured.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also blamed a Russian bombardment. An initial report put the death toll at 39 people “including rebels, prisoners and civilians, while dozens of others were wounded and seriously wounded.”
But two other reports said more people had died, with the figure finally rising to 81, including 52 civilian citizens and prisoners (including three women and a child), 23 fighters from Jabhat Al-Nusra (al-Qaeda in the Levant) and six fighters from other rebel and Islamic factions.
According to the Syrian Observatory, Russia used four missiles on the Administrative Court of Jabhat Al-Nusra which included a prison, in addition to targeting areas in the vicinity of Maarat al Numan. As a consequence it said the death toll was even higher, but that this could not be documented because “of extreme secrecy by concerned parties in the area“.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights published four early reports which blamed the Assad regime. But a detailed fifth report eventually said Russian warplanes were responsible, and that 67 people had died, including three women.
The White Helmets – which needed two days to clear the site – said the final death toll was 96.

Shaam News said Russian forces carried out a “massacre” in which five non-combatants including children died. It reported that this was one of three incidents in Idlib on this day, the others being in Ma’arat al Nu’man and Sarmada.
Al Hall reported that “scores of civilians were killed, on Tuesday, and wounded more than a hundred others, a result of air strikes Russian warplanes, which targeted the cities and towns of Idlib countryside“, but they said that the Assad regime was responsible for the raid on Saraqib, which killed five civilians, including an unborn child in a mother’s womb, and left a number wounded. After two other incidents in Idlib on this day, activists said that hospitals were filled with wounded people and that there was an acute shortage of medical supplies.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights also blamed regime warplanes – again putting the death toll at five.

Summary: Between 31 and 34 civilians including two to three children were killed – and up to 40 other people injured – in airstrikes on Maarat al Numan in Idlib, according to multiple sources. While all sources allege that Russia was responsible for the attack, initial reports by the Syrian Network for Human Rights blamed the Assad regime – though a subsequent report by the Network went on to say that Russia carried out the attacks.
The Shaam News Network reported on the three incidents that occurred in Idlib on January 12th (
Maarat al Numan, Sarmada, Saraqib) and initially put the death toll in Maarat al Numan at 20 non-combatants, including media activists and members of the White Helmets, who were directly targeted by Russian bombing leading to the death of two and injury of five others, including “three in critical condition during the air raid that targeted their teams while trying to rescue the injured in Maart.
They reported that two raids targeted a row of residential buildings, followed by a third after the arrival of the ambulance crews and White Helmets, resulting in the death toll rising and exceeding 25. But a later report put the death toll at 33, including two media activists, one member of the White Helmets and two nurses and medical staff, along with 40 wounded.

Media activist, Abu Mohammed Aladalba, told AlHall that
 “at least 12 civilians were killed, and dozens wounded, following targeted the northern quarter of the city Ma’arat Al Nu’man the southern countryside of Idlib, high-explosive rockets.”
He explained that the White Helmets also
 “came under direct fire from the Russian aviation, during rescue operations, which led to the fall of 15 civilians, including members of the civil defense.”
But in brief initial reports the Syrian Network for Human Rights said that shelling by the Assad regime resulted in the death of 31, including two children. They added that an ambulance was also targeted.
However, a further report by SN4HR blamed Russia, putting the number killed at 32, including three children. They also reported that members of the White Helmets were killed.
Reporting on the three incidents in Idlib on January 12th, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the overall death toll had risen to 43, including 4 children and 6 women.

January 19th 2016: (R356) البوليل Islah neighbourhoodAl Buliyal Deir ez-Zor governorate, Syria
Summary: Between six and 18 civilians including two children were killed – and 15 others injured – in airstrikes on Al Buliyal, according to local sources. Most sources alleged that Russian forces carried out the strikes, though an initial report by Deir Ezzor is Being Slaughtered Silently said that regime warplanes were responsible – but subsequent reports by this source then went on to blame Russian aviation. However, a report by Syria2011 appeared to attribute the incident to the Assad regime.
The Shaam News Network reported on “violent clashes
 between elements of the state regulation and the forces of Assad on the western and southern fronts of the city of Deir ez-Zor“, and the “unprecedented movement of Russian aviation” in the region in support of Assad’s forces. 
Activists told SNN that Russian warplanes “committed a horrible massacre…against dozens of civilians in the village of Albuliyal“, with several raids using cluster bombs targeting houses in the city centre.
According to an initial report by the Syrian Network for Human Rights, “suspected Russian warplanes” killed 11 non-combatants, including two children.

Summary: The Violations Documentation Center named two adult male civilians – Abdul Naser Younes al-Khattab and Mohammad Khair Haytham al-Mahmoud “al-Kateb”  as killed “as a result of the explosion of remnants of a missile from Russian shelling“, however in the notes of Abdul Naser Younes al-Khattab there is a video of the victim entitled ‘the Jihadist  Abdul Naser Younes Al khattab in one of the field hospitals in the Hama countryside’, so it is not clear whether he was a civilian of a Jihadist. Furthermore, the image published of the other victim, Mohammad Khair Haytham al-Mahmoud “al-Kateb”, may suggest that he is not a civilian.
An additional source, Syrian News Desk, reported that “two opposition fighters were killed and others injured in the town of Ltamenah while trying to disarm a missile which had not exploded after being fired by a Russian plane.”
The media opposition activist Mohammed Ali of Hama said: “The two members of Jasyh al Ezzah from Free Syrian Army were killed and four were wounded by the explosion of the rocket, which they tried to extract from inside the earth so as not to cause harm to civilians.”

Summary: Between 34 and 50 civilians including up to eight women and 16 children were killed and more than 60 injured in alleged Russian airstrikes on Al Tabiya Jazeera, according to multiple sources.
An initial report by Deir Ezzor is Being Slaughtered Silently said that Russian two strikes led to the deaths of four civilians families in their entirety.
Subsequent reports put the death toll at 37 non-combatants who were buried in a “mass grave“, and predicted that the number was likely to rise to 50. A further report said that 48 had died and more than 60 were wounded, most of them being in “

January 23rd 2016: (R383) البوليل  Al Buliyal, Deir ez-Zor governorate, Syria
Summary: Two civilians including one child were killed in an alleged Russian airstrike on Al Buliyal, according to the Violations Documentation Center.
The two victims were named by the VDC as:
Othman Hassan al-Ali al-Mousa al-Sheheily – adult, male
Saeed Rasheed Mallawardi – child, male

Syrian Shuada also lists Osman Hassan Ali Moosa Alshayli as killed in a Russian strike, but it says that he died on Jan 19th. There is therefore the possibility the date of death in the VDC listing is incorrect.
However, according to Syria 2011, who also listed Osman Hassan Ashayi, he was killed in a regime strike on Jan 19th.
No reports on strikes on Al Buliyal have yet been found.

January 23rd 2016: (R384) خشام Khusham, Deir ez-Zor governorate, Syria
Summary: Between 61 and 90 civilians including two women and 11 children were killed – and between 40 and 100 others injured – in airstrikes on Khusham, according to multiple sources. While three of the five sources say that Russia was responsible for the attack, there was some uncertainty from the Syrian Network for Human Rights whether Russia or the regime were to blame.
Deir Ezzor is Being Slaughtered Silently reported that Russian aircraft targeted the centre of the village of Khusham, near the “clinic of Sushi Mleihan“. They published eight reports in which they named some of those killed and documented the rising death toll, which they finally put at 90, with more than 100 wounded.
The Shaam News Network also said that Russia carried out the raids, killing “at least 50 civilians” and injuring dozens more. They said that warplanes shelled several neighbourhoods, causing widespread destruction to civilian property including shops. But a subsequent report by SNN – referring to a report by the Syrian Network for Human Rights – said that the death toll rose to at least 61 including 11 children and two women who were killed when “suspected Russian warplanes” fired four missiles.
In confused reporting, the Syrian Network for Human Rights initially said Russian warplanes killed 61 and wounded nearly 40 others when four missiles were launched on Khusham. But two subsequent reports said it was not clear whether Russia or the Assad regime were responsible. However, a final report on February 5 once more blamed Russia, again putting the death toll at 61.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, 33 non-combatants died, but the Observatory did not say who the “warplanes” belonged to.” They added that the death toll was likely to rise as many people were in a critical condition.
26 victims (killed “in a massacre due to Russian air forces shelling“) were named by the Violations Documentation Center as:

Summary: Between five and 20 civilians died and 10 to 20 were injured – many critically –  in strikes by Ballistic missiles, according to local sources – though reports are conflicted as to whether this was the work of Russia or the Assad regime.
The Syrian Committee for Human Rights reported that 10 people died and 20 more were wounded in a strike by ballistic missiles “believed to have been launched from Russian warships in the Mediterranean“.
A video published by Qasioun depicted casualties being treated following an alleged Russian raid.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, 16 people died (“11 fighters from Jabhat Al-Nusra (al-Qaeda in Levant) and Islamic factions”), three civilian males and two civilian women, when a suspected ballistic missile landed in the area of a former police station “which is now taken by Jabhat Al-Nusra (al-Qaeda in Levant) as a ‘court’ in the city of Salqin at the northwestern countryside of Idlib”. The report added that the missile targeted the area after a meeting in the “court” for reconciliation between al-Nusra Front and the Islamic movement of Ahrar al-Sham. They did not say who fired the weapons, but added that the incident was accompanied by warplanes flying overhead.
Alaan TV said that the “Judges Road” area was targeted on Sunday evening by “long-range shelling with rockets loaded with cluster bombs, resulting in 10 deaths.
A nurse working in the hospital in Salheen gave the following testimony to Alaan: “
We received a large number of people who were injured – more than 20, including women and children. Some were transferred to other medical points close. There was an urgent need for blood donors as some cases suffered severe bleeding.
The activist Ahmed Istanbuli indicated that the regime was responsible: “observatories in the town of Saraqeb reported that the source was near the Aazan mountain in the countryside of Aleppo, and the weapons were fired from  regime positions in there. A missile loaded with cluster bombs exploded while another failed to explode after falling in the Sgayn”.
However, the report went on to say that others who heard the sounds of the rockets identified them as Russian and said that they had been fired by warships on the Syrian coast.
The Syrian Press Center also that this was an attack by the regime, which led to 20 civilians dead and wounded. They named the following victims:
Salah Said Naffakh
Mohamed Amiri
Yasser Hamadoun Boubaki
Dania Marmour
Plus one other woman
Three adult male civilians were killed in an alleged Russian airstrike on Salheen, according to the Violations Documentation Center.

Summary: Four civilians died and 12 were injured in alleged Russian airstrike on Tel Rifa’at, according local sources.
The Syrian Press Center reported that Russia carried out four raids and that a young man was killed in addition to a number of other civilians being wounded.
The Violations Documentation Center – who named the victim as Omar Taleb al Sakran – also alleged that this was a Russian raid.
According to Al Souria, three non-combatants died and 12 others were injured when “Russian fighter jets targeted residential localities in Tel Rifa’at“.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights briefly reported that “a young man was killed and others were wounded when warplanes carried out raids on areas in the town of Tall Rifaat,” but they did not say whether the planes were Russian or belonged to the Assad regime.
The VDC named a further three victims:
Nisreen Ali Tayar – adult, female
Qusai Mahmoud Hamdawi “Haj Dibo” – child, male
Nesreen Ali al-Tayar – adult, female
However, there were only two victims as Nisreen Ali Tayar is listed twice. Even though in one listing it says “child” and the other it says “Adult”, if you click on the listings they both say “35 year old adult female”, so it’s a duplicate.
