Airwars assessment
One child was reported killed, and up to five including two children were injured in an alleged Russian or Syrian airstrike or artillery shelling on Hass, Idlib in the afternoon of August 11th, which was the first day of Eid Al-Adha.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights named the child as Mohammad Thaer Qal`aji.
Macro Media Center stated that “a child was killed, and three other children and a man were injured after a MiG-23 fighter jet shelled residential neighborhoods in Hass town south of Idlib.” However, @ShahbaPress reported that, in addition to the death of the child, five others including two children were injured.
According to Baladi News and other sources, the victim child was an orphan whose parents were killed in a previous massacre committed by Russian warplanes on October 26th, 2016. However, Shaam Network said that his mother only was killed in what was known as the ‘massacre of pens ‘ in Hass, and that his father died later. Other sources said that Mohammad was the only child to his parents.
Sources predominantly attributed the attack to the Syrian regime, while others named both Russian forces and the Assad regime in reports of the incident. For example, @FSLA2011 accused Russia: “the child, Mohammad Thaer Qal`aji, from the town of Hass in the southeastern countryside of Idlib, was killed, as a result of an airstrike by the Russian warplanes on the town, in addition to causing a number of civilian casualties, on the first day of Eid al-Adha.”
But the Syrian Network for Human Rights reported attributed the responsibility to the Syrian regime which “fired missiles near Saned School for Orphans in Hass village in the southern suburbs of Idlib governorate, partially damaging its building and furniture, on August 11th.”
The incident occured in the afternoon.
