Summary: Nine civilians including five children were killed in airstrikes on Anadan according to local sources – though reports are conflicted as to whether Russia or the Assad regime were responsible, and there is some question as to exactly when certain victims died.
The Shaam News Network reported that three children from one family were killed in a bombardment of Anadan by Russian aircraft.
It said several towns and cities in the northern countryside of Aleppo were targeted, wounding civilians and causing widespread destruction to residential buildings.
Al Jisr TV reported that three children died and others were injured in Russian bombing in Anadan.
Adnan Modlej posted distressing footage from the city which showed several injured children. A resident being filmed said that Anadan suffered more than 50 airstrikes. It does not say who was responsible.
However, the Syrian Network for Human Rights blamed missiles fired by Assad regime warplanes, putting the death toll at three children.
It published an image of the child Hazem Mohammad Abdul Razzaq Kouraj, saying he was killed by regime warplanes. Hazem is also listed by the Violations Documentation Center, but as killed “due to Russian air forces shelling“.

Shaam News Network reported that there had been dozens of Russia raids launched on February 9th on Aleppo, leaving more than three dead “in a number of areas Kfar Kheshr and Kafrkalbeen in violent raids and rocket spatial cluster in addition to dozens of air raids on Tal Rifa’at, Mare’ and Ain Da’na.”  In a second report activists told SNN that “Russian Aviation committed a horrible massacre yesterday in the town of Kafr Khasher in northern Aleppo after targeting several buildings intense rocket explosion turned to rubble above warheads inhabitants.“
The source added that six civilians were still under the rubble because rescue teams had been “unable to lift them given the weakness of the available resources and the continued bombardment.”
The White Helmets reported that “warplanes” (they did not say who they belonged to) carried out five raids “targeting the two villages of Kafr Kalbeen and Kafr Khasher in the countryside of Izaz which led to the death of 20 people most of them women and children and great destruction of buildings.” They added that there had been great destruction to buildings. However, the date of the report appeared to be one day out from the incident, so further research is required.
A second White Helmets report (dated February 12th) said that “after a job that lasted three days all martyrs have been pulled from under the rubble in the town of Kafr Khasher in the northern countryside by the civil defence teams in the centres of Tal Rifa’at, Izaz and Mare’.” They said that the rescue work had to stop several times due to repeated airstrikes on the town.

“Since the end of the last week, Turkey has been conducting massive artillery strikes of large-caliber artillery against the Syrian government forces as well as units of the patriotic opposition in border areas. Means of the objective monitoring data registered more than 100 artillery shots against bordering inhabited areas in the Aleppo province.
Ankara has launched an aggressive information campaign in the leading world media agencies against Russia in order to prevent the loss of control over the northern and northwestern parts of Syria. There the Turkish leadership has been absolute landlords for the last years. Since yesterday, the Russian Defence Ministry has received lots of accusations from the Turkish leadership, their allies and controlled branches of famous organizations...
In conclusion, it is to be reminded one more time, that the Russian Armed Forces jointly with the partners have deployed a multi-level reconnaissance system which provides acquisition of true information 24 hours a day concerning the activities of terrorists on the territory of Syria and some of the country’s neighbours. All the strikes on the terrorists’ objects are carried out only after multiple check of the received data and coordination of actions to exclude risks for civilians.”

The Violations Documentation Center said that two adult male non-combatants died as a result of Russia shelling. In a news roundup, the Shaam News Network reported Russian raids on Palmyra, leading to the death of two civilians.

However, according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, the regime was responsible. In an initial report it said two children died – but this could be referring to a separate incident on the same day and location, given that the victims are children and the VDC names two adults.
Another SN4HR report named Mrs. Aisha Al Khaled as a victim and said that she died from injuries sustained in the attack.

Activists told Shaam News Network that “the Russian air force targeted the city of Izaz today with more than 13 air raids, which were followed by a direct targeting of field hospitals with ballistic missiles launched by Russian warships in the Mediterranean carrying cluster bombs“. They put the death toll at more than 10 non-combatants with 30 wounded, some in critical condition.

Quality of reporting: Contested – VDC blames regime, plus there is confusion in SN4HR reports: they initially blame the regime; and it’s not clear from Reuters or SO4HR who was responsible.
Russian position: From February 10th – February 16th, Russia reported: “On February 10-16, aircraft of the Russian aviation group in the Syrian Arab Republic have performed 444 combat sorties engaging 1593 terrorists’ objects in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, Daraa, Homs, Hama, Latakia and Aleppo.” They published the following is response to civilian casualty allegations in Azaz:
“Since the end of the last week, Turkey has been conducting massive artillery strikes of large-caliber artillery against the Syrian government forces as well as units of the patriotic opposition in border areas.
Means of the objective monitoring data registered more than 100 artillery shots against bordering inhabited areas in the Aleppo province.
Ankara has launched an aggressive information campaign in the leading world media agencies against Russia in order to prevent the loss of control over the northern and northwestern parts of Syria. There the Turkish leadership has been absolute landlords for the last years.
Since yesterday, the Russian Defence Ministry has received lots of accusations from the Turkish leadership, their allies and controlled branches of famous organizations.
Yesterday, during his visit to Ukraine, the Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu even came to the point of speaking about alleged strike performed by Russia from the Caspian Sea with the BALLISTIC MISILLE against a hospital in the Idlib province.
It is to be stressed that the Caspian Flotilla has no warship capable of performing such launches of ballistic missiles.
Moreover, in the course of the previous day, the number of messages of the Western media concerning allegedly engaged non-military objects and victims of the Russian aviation in Syria was growing as a snowball. From one hospital in Idlib in the morning to 5 hospitals and even several schools by the end of the day.
Not only in Idlib, but in Azaz (Aleppo province) too.
To achieve significant public response, all the engaged hospitals were reported as being “supported” by representatives of the “Doctors Without Borders” organization.
Then, to achieve the maximum likeness with the incident of destruction of a hospital in Kunduz (Afghanistan) by the American aviation, right on cue, the word “supported” was forgotten.
By the evening live television broadcasts, the bombed objects transformed in “hospitals of “Doctors Without Borders”.
First of all, it is to be claimed that only Turkish authorities new about the fact that there had been hospitals of the “Doctors Without Borders” organization in Idlib and Azaz by the previous day. There is no information concerning these establishments anywhere including the website of the “Doctors Without Borders”.
Moreover, messages concerning the allegedly destroyed hospitals and schools in Azaz dated February 10 can be simply found on the website.
In other words, this fabrication had been prepared but not realized the day before the meeting of the heads of foreign ministries of Russia and the USA in Munich, the results of which, as the Russian Defence Ministry assumes, are so opposed by Turkey.
In the message dated February 15 concerning the allegedly destroyed hospital in Idlib, there is no photo or video of this building: neither undamaged nor destroyed. By the way, “Doctors Without Borders” document their activities very thoroughly with photos and videos in all countries.
It is to be emphasized one more time: neither Syria, nor Idlib or Aleppo; it was the Turkish city of Gaziantep near the border with Syria.
By the way, that was the city where, by a strange coincidence, the largest training camps had been organized under the aegis of the Turkish secret services for militants arriving into the country from other countries including CIS who were then sent to Syria to fight within terrorist groupings.
If anybody in the Turkish Republic thinks that the Russian party does not guess that, they should not indulge in illusions.
Both messages concerning the allegedly destroyed hospitals and schools in Azaz dated February 10 and Idlib dated February 15 have the same origin – “Gaziantep. Turkey”.
The information concerning the place where these fabrications had been made has been published, apparently due to negligence of authors or editors of the website.
In conclusion, it is to be reminded one more time, that the Russian Armed Forces jointly with the partners have deployed a multi-level reconnaissance system which provides acquisition of true information 24 hours a day concerning the activities of terrorists on the territory of Syria and some of the country’s neighbours.
All the strikes on the terrorists’ objects are carried out only after multiple check of the received data and coordination of actions to exclude risks for civilians.”

Summary: Three civilians were killed and 10 others injured in an airstrike on the National Hospital in Maarat al Numan according to local sources. While some alleged that the attack was the work of Russia, one blames the regime, while it is not clear from a third who was responsible.
The Shaam News Network reported that the Health Directorate in Iblib “issued a statement regarding the Russian raids that targeted field hospitals today in a rural Idlib and Aleppo.
“The statement said that Russian warplanes had on Monday air strikes which targeted a number of villages in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib and that the largest share in these raids was the medical facilities.“
It went on to say that at “around eleven o’clock, the Russian Aviation raid targeted the Central Hospital (National) in the town of Maaret al-Numan killing three martyrs, including a nurse and a large number of wounded.“
SNN also posted a video – not specific only to this incident – entitled ‘The day of the destruction of hospitals: 5 main  medical centres are out of service as a result of the planes and missiles of the Russian enemy.’
Reuters reported that “about 50 civilians were killed when missiles hit five medical centers and two schools in rebel-held Syrian towns on Monday“, according to the United Nations and local residents. The report cited the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: “Also in Marat Numan, another strike hit the National Hospital on the north edge of town, killing two nurses, the Observatory said.” But the report did not say whether Russia or the regime were responsible.
Ten images were published by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights showing “destruction by bombing by warplanes believed to be Russian on two hospitals in Maarrat al-Nu’man and its vicinity.” It said a strike on one hospital “supported by an international medical organization, killed and injured tens of people including nurses, besides missing people under the rubble which also includes nurses and doctors.” It is not clear whether these photos refer to this incident or the other incident in Maarat al Numan on this day, a strike on a MSF hospital (see entry below for February 15th).
SO4HR put the final death toll of the bombing of two hospitals (the “National hospital” which this incident refers to and the MSF hospital in the separate incident – listed below – also on February 15th) at 31 including “four children, three women citizens, and 11 doctors, nurses and laboratory specialist“.
However, the Syrian Network for Human Rights blamed shelling by the regime, which they said killed a nurse, named as Amena Hussein Al Hasan.

February 15th 2016: (R546) الحامدية Al Hamidiya, Idlib governorate, Syria
Summary: In a separate incident from the attacks on the National Hospital and the hospital for women and children (listed above for February 15th), between 13 and 26 civilians including up to seven women and at least two children died in airstrikes on the Médecins Sans Frontière (MSF) hospital at Al Hamidiya, according to multiple sources – though they were conflicted as to who was responsible for the attack, with some reports blaming Russia, other the Assad regime and one saying these were Coalition strikes.
Shaam News Network said Russian warplanes conducted four consecutive strikes on the MSF hospital leading to 13 deaths and and the building’s “total destruction“.
It also reported that the Health Directorate in Iblib “issued a statement regarding the Russian raids that targeted field hospitals today in a rural Idlib and Aleppo.” It said that the first attack was “at exactly 9 o’clock when the Al A’thmiya hospital was targeted which belongs to MSF which caused the total destruction of the hospital rendering it out of service completely. The planes came back and targeted the hospital again when the rescue teams had arrived to look for survivors which left 9 dead including a child and two nurses and dozens of injured.”
SNN later reported: “A spokeswoman for MSF in Turkey, ‘Sirab Ozturk,’ said that 11 bodies had been recovered, and confirmed the presence of 25 employees at the hospital during the bombing, stating that 15 of them have survived without injuries, while three employees were injured, and recovered the bodies of five employees and 5 patients and facilities.
“Ozturk explained they do not know how many people were inside the hospital during the bombing, because the bombing occurred during the night shift employees work shifts, saying: ‘We fear the increase in the death toll.'”
According to the Health Directorate for Idlib, eight of those killed were staff of the hospital, “including Doctor Imad Al Nissr from Khan Shaykhun City, two nurses and lab staff Ammar Hallak, Mohammad Shawwaf and Yahiya Qitaz and five nurses namely: Asma’a Dashash, Kawthar al Sawass, Lamia’a, Inas Hamra, Amna Hussein Al Hassan“. Al Jazeera put the death toll at 18, including nine doctors.
A Reuters report quoted the French president of MSF, Mergo Terzian, who said: “There were at least seven deaths among the personnel and the patients, and at least eight MSF personnel have disappeared, and we don’t know if they are alive”.
He added that  “The author of the strike is clearly…either the government or Russia,” and said that this was not the first time MSF facilities in Syria had been attacked.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, “warplanes believed to be Russian” were responsible – and they “renewed the bombing twice on the hospital’s area.“
They published ten images, though it is not clear whether they refer to this incident or the strike on the National Hospital on the same day (listed above).
Initial reports by the Syrian Network for Human Rights blamed the regime, putting the death toll at at least 6 victims including 2 children.
However, in a later report, SN4HR appeared to change their position and attributed the incident to Russia, putting the death toll at 25 including a child and seven women.
But in an ABC report, Syria’s UN envoy, Bashar Jaafari, repeated Syrian claims that the US-led Coalition carried out the strikes; moreover, he added that it was MSF’s fault as they had never consulted with government re installing hospital: “‘The so-called hospital was installed without any prior consultation with the Syrian government by the so-called French network called MSF, which is a branch of the French intelligence operating in Syria,’ ambassador Bashar Jaafari said.”
The Violations Documentation Center named 16 victims as:
Mohammad al-Sahawaf – adult, male – a nurse, according to SPC

February 15th 2016: (R547) غرناطة Garnata, Homs governorate, Syria
Summary: Up to three civilians including one girl and two women were killed in an airstrike on Garnata according to two local sources – though reports are conflicted as to whether Russia or the regime carried out the attack.
In a news roundup, the Shaam News Network reported that “Russian enemy planes carried out air raids on the towns of Al Ghinto, Umm Sharshouh, Ghiranata and Talbissa in the northern Homs countryside which led to the fall of two martys in Ghirnata and in response to these raids the rebels targeted Assad’s positions in brigade 26.”
Syriapc News and 811Syria also blamed Russia – with the latter source saying that there were three strikes with cluster bombs.
However, the Syrian Network for Human Rights put the death toll slightly higher at three and said that the regime warplanes were responsible for the death of a girl and two women. Three unidentified victims were listed by the Violations Documentation Center as killed by “airforce shelling”:
Unidentified 1 – adult, female
Unidentified 2 – adult, female
Unidentified 3 – child, female
Civilians reported killed: 2-3, including 1 child and 2 women

Russian position:From February 10th – February 16th, Russia reported: “On February 10-16, aircraft of the Russian aviation group in the Syrian Arab Republic have performed 444 combat sorties engaging 1593 terrorists’ objects in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, Daraa, Homs, Hama, Latakia and Aleppo.”

 

February 15th 2016: (R537a) (S163) الشدادي Al Shadadi, Hassakah governorate, Syria
Summary: Reported airstrikes by the Coalition or possibly Russia on al Shadadi between midnight and dawn struck a bakery in the city killing at least 15 civilians, according to multiple reports.
Shaam News and the Syrian Network said the civilians died in a Coalition strike as they queued to buy bread at an auto bakery, although other sources said those killed were bakery staff. Al A’maq Media (close to Daesh) initially blamed the attack on Russia but later noted: “Correction: a Source to al A’maq: the raids that destroyed the bakery of Shadadi killing 15 of its staff was carried out by international coalition planes, not Russian planes.” The VDC attributed the attack to Russia.
In a lengthy report [in Arabic] on the attack, the Damascus Center later cited eyewitness Nabila um Khaled: “We were standing in front of the oven waiting to get the bread, everyone present was a civilian. The day before we didn’t leave the house for fear of bombing from the air… We looked to the sky and saw three or more planes flying in the air, their color almost cyan [light blue]. After less than a minute we started to tell each other that we had to leave the place and run away, because the aircraft were flying at low altitudes. But we did not have time to move. After less than a minute, as I said what we saw was a rocket hit the oven building where people were lined up. Those at the front of the line are the victims who died in the massacre. My sister and I were standing at the back, I was hit by shrapnel, and my sister was left in a serious condition, though she is now improving.”
The Coaliton later appeared to confirm it had carried out strikes in the vicinity, saying it had destroyed ‘an ISIL building’ near Al Hassakah. Heavy airstrikes had been recorded in the town in preceding days, given an imminent ground assault to recapture Al Shadadi from Daesh. In contrast, Russia did not publicly report carrying out airstrikes in Al Hassakah governorate.
Ten adult civilian male dead were later named as:
Yousef Anwar
Mohammad Anwar
Taha Khleif
Mohammad al-Haboud
Ahmad al-Mekhlef
Mahmoud Mustafa al-Khallouf
Ala’a Hussain Dkheil al-Kreiei
Qahtan al-Alawi al-Suleiman
Taha Ajaj
Louai Jazzar
The Daily Beast later reported that “U.S. Central Command, which leads the U.S. military in the Middle East, is investigating the latest allegations of civilian deaths to determine if they are credible and conduct a proper military investigation, Lt. Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., commander, U.S. Air Forces Central Command, told Pentagon reporters during a briefing Thursday….Brown said he could not say whether the coalition was conducting strikes at the same time residents were alleged to have come under attack, but he noted that coalition forces “have been striking that area for the past several days.”’
