According to local sources, alleged Russian or Syrian airstrikes struck an Internally Displaced People (IDP) camp with four rockets in the outskirts of the town of Deir Al Sharqi in rural Idlib, killing up to five civilians and wounding up to 15 others.

@ShahbaPress tweeted: “Three civilians were killed, including children, and at least ten wounded, as the Assad forces’ warplanes targeted the Deir Al Sharqi camp in Idlib countryside with missiles.”

Several sources, including @SyrianCoalition, reported that two women and a child were killed. According to Step News Agency and Smart News Agency, a second child was killed in the attack as well. Edlib Media Center agreed on a total death toll of four civilians but claimed three women and a child were killed. The four victims were from the same family, according to a tweet by @IdlibPlus.

Five victims were identified by several sources, naming three killed civilians and two of the wounded. All reported victims were of the Al Barrak family. According to Faisal Rakan Kanj, the family was displaced from the village of Qubeibat Abu Al Huda in the northeastern countryside of Hama.

Enab Baladi reported the same first names of the victims, but stated that their surname was Al Khaled, writing that “the victims were: Thaqla Sulaiman Al Hayer, her daughter Amal Hakmat Al Khaled, her son Muhammad Hakmat Al Khaled (a child), and her grandson Muhammad Anwar Al Khaled (a child).” Other sources reported that the female named Amal was a child, rather than an adult, and wrote that she was injured.

@ShahbaPress added that a total of 15 civilians was wounded. Other sources stated that there were “several wounded.”

Syrian Civil Defence teams rushed to the site to recover the bodies of the victims and bring the injured to medical points.

Whereas nearly all sources blamed the Syrian regime, @SyrianCoalition pointed to both the Syrian regime and Russia.
